Information Requests

Under GDPR, individuals have the right to confirm if their data is being processed and the right to access their personal data and other supplementary information. Individuals must be able to verify their identity through reasonable means. There is no charge for this information under the regulation but a fee can be charged if the request is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive or if at the extreme of these reasons, this request can be refused. This fee is based on the administrative cost of providing the information.  Under such a subject request we have to provide this information within 30 days but where information is complex or numerous this period can be extended by a further 60 days by informing you of this within the initial month. If a request is refused for the reasons above and explanation must be given and you have the right to complain to the supervisory authority

Rectification and Erasure

You have a right to have any inaccurate or incomplete data rectified. Similar to the access requests the Company will respond within 30 days and this can be extended by an extra 60 days in complex cases. This can also be refused but a reason must be given and you have the right to complaint to a supervisory authority. You also have the right to be forgotten, however this request can be refused where data is required to comply with legal obligations, for public health purposes or for the defence or exercise of legal claims. More information can be found here.

Third parties where your personal data has been disclosed also have to be informed of this erasure.

When you give us information about another person, you confirm that they have appointed you to act for them, to consent to the processing of their personal data, including sensitive personal data and to the transfer of their information abroad and to receive on their behalf any data protection notices.
