Where this is the case, we will only share the minimal amount of personal data necessary for the purpose of processing and, where possible, we will share the personal data in an anonymised form.
  • Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK and/or EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
  • we may transfer your personal data to countries for whom there has been an adequacy decision by the UK Secretary of State (as applicable) confirming that the country provides an adequate level of protection for personal data; or
  • we may use specific contracts approved by the UK Secretary of State or the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has within the UK. When we rely on this measure, we will ensure that the third party can comply with the provisions of such contracts and we have confirmed that the country to which the personal data is transferred provides enforceable data subject rights and effective legal remedies for data subjects are available there; or
  • a specific exception applies under applicable data protection law.
  • Please contact [email protected] if you would like further information about the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal data overseas.

Your Data Subject Rights

Under data protection laws you have the following rights:

  • Request access to your personal data. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate personal data we hold about you corrected.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see point d below).
  • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Request that your personal data is sent to another controller (the right of portability). In certain circumstances, you have the right to get your personal data from us in a way that is accessible and machine-readable, and you also have the right to ask us to transfer your personal data to another organisation. This does not apply to all of your personal data, only personal data that you have provided to us and which is held electronically. We only have to comply with this right if it is technically feasible to provide this personal data in a commonly used format, for example, a CVS file.
  • We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making purposes. 
  • If you wish to exercise any of your data subject rights, please contact [email protected].
  • In most cases we will deal with your request as soon as possible and at the latest within one calendar month of the date the request was received. If we need to extend the time period for responding to your request, we will let you know within the one-month period. We do not charge a fee for any such requests unless there are exceptional circumstances.

We hope that we can resolve any query or concern you raise about our use of your personal data. If not, you can contact you relevant Regulator for further information about your rights and make a formal complaint.
