5 YOUR RIGHTS

The GDPR provides you with certain rights in relation to the processing of your personal data, including to:

  • Request access to personal data about you (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). 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 rectification, correction, or updating to any of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request personal data provided by you to be transferred in machine-readable format (“data portability”), to the extent applicable in the business relationship context. This enables you to ask us to provide you, in a machine-readable format, personal data that you have provided to us for transfer to another data controller.
  • Request erasure of 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 personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you (e.g. if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it).
  • Object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. This right may apply where the processing of your personal data is based on the legitimate interests of the controller, as explained above, or where decisions about you are based solely on automated processing, including profiling, and you have grounds for objection relating to your particular situation.
  • Withdraw your consent. You may withdraw your consent in those circumstances where we may rely on your consent to process your personal data.

These rights are not absolute and are subject to various conditions under:

  • applicable data protection and privacy legislation; and
  • the laws and regulations to which we are subject.

If you have any general queries or decide at any time that you would like to exercise any of your rights as set out above, please email: enquiries@visqueen.com, or call +44 (0) 333 202 6800..

Website: https://ico.org.uk.

6 RETENTION PERIOD

We will keep and process your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected in connection with your relationship with us, unless we have a legal right or obligation to retain the data for a longer period, or the data is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
