Rights of individuals under GDPR
The GDPR gives people rights in relation to how organisations process their personal data.
They include (but are not limited to) the right:
- To request a copy of any personal data that we hold about them (as a data controller), as well as a description of the type of information that we are processing, the uses that are being made of the information, details of anyone to whom their personal data has been disclosed, and how long the data will be stored (known as subject access rights)
- To be told, where any information is not collected from the personal directly, any available information as to the source of the information
- To be told of the existence of automated decision-making
- To object to the processing of data where the processing is based on either the conditions of public interest or legitimate interests
- To object to direct marketing, including profiling for such purposes
- To have all personal data erased (the right to be forgotten) unless certain limited conditions apply
- To restrict processing where the individual has objected to the processing
- To have inaccurate data amended or destroyed
- To obtain and reuse their personal data for their own purposes across different services (right to data portability). This right only applies to data that has been provided to us by the data subject, where the processing is based on consent or the performance of a contract and when processing is carried out by automated means. The data will be provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
Subject access requests
Under the GDPR, people have the right to request a copy of any personal data we hold about them. To do this, they must request a copy of the data in writing (email requests are valid as are requests made via other social media platforms).
In almost all cases, there will be no charge for a subject access request and we will respond to the request within one month of receipt of the request.
We must verify the identity of the individual making the request by asking for proof of ID.
