Under certain circumstances, you have rights under the Data Protection Legislation in relation to your personal data. These rights are set out below.  If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out below, please contact our Data Protection Officer.  

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

Your rights are as follows:

 

  • Right of access – you have the right to request a copy of the personal data that we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
  • Right of rectification – you have a right to request that we correct personal data that we hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete.

  • Right of portability – you have the right to have the data we hold about you transferred to another organisation.
  • Right to object – you have the right to object to the 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 as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.

There are some exceptions to the above rights. 

  • Right to withdraw consent.  In the limited circumstances where you have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of the personal data referred to above, you may withdraw that consent at any time. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent, or to processing carried out on other legal grounds. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
