Additional Disclosures for UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) Compliance (UK)
Data Controller / Data Processor
The GDPR distinguishes between organisations that process personal information for their own purposes (known as “data controllers”) and organisations that process personal information on behalf of other organisations (known as “data processors”). For the purposes covered by this Privacy Policy, I am a Data Controller with respect to the personal information you provide to me and remain compliant with my data controller obligations under GDPR.
Third-Party Provided Content
I may indirectly collect personal information about you from third-parties who have your permission to share it.
Legal Bases for Processing Your Personal Information
Data Protection and Privacy Laws permit me to collect and use your personal data on a limited number of grounds.. In which case, I will collect and use your personal information lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner.
Lawful bases depend on the services you use and how you use them. This is a non-exhaustive list of the lawful bases I use:
Consent From You
Where you give me consent to collect and use your personal information for a specific purpose. You may withdraw your consent at any time using the facilities I provide; however this will not affect any use of your information that has already taken place. When you contact me, I assume your consent based on your positive action of contact, therefore you consent to your name and email address being used so I can respond to your enquiry.
Where you agree to receive marketing communications from me, I will do so based solely on your indication of consent or until you instruct me not to, which you can do at any time.
While you may request that I delete your contact details at any time, I cannot recall any email I have already sent. If you have any further enquiries about how to withdraw your consent, please feel free to enquire using the details provided in the Contact Me section of this privacy policy.
Performance of a Contract or Transaction
Where you have entered into a contract or transaction with me, or in order to take preparatory steps prior to me entering into a contract or transaction with you. For example, if you contact me with an enquiry, I may require personal information such as your name and contact details in order to respond.
Our Legitimate Interests
Where I assess it is necessary for my legitimate interests, such as for me to provide, operate, improve and communicate my services. I consider my legitimate interests to include research and development, understanding my audience, marketing and promoting my services, measures taken to operate my services efficiently, marketing analysis, and measures taken to protect my legal rights and interests.
Compliance with Law
In some cases, I may have a legal obligation to use or keep your personal information. Such cases may include (but are not limited to) court orders, criminal investigations, government requests, and regulatory obligations. For example, I am required to keep financial records for a period of 7 years. If you have any further enquiries about how I retain personal information in order to comply with the law, please feel free to enquire using the details provided in the Contact Me section of this privacy policy.
Your Data Subject Rights
Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information if (i) you are concerned about the accuracy of your personal information; (ii) you believe your personal information has been unlawfully processed; (iii) you need us to maintain the personal information solely for the purpose of a legal claim; or (iv) we are in the process of considering your objection in relation to processing on the basis of legitimate interests.
Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing of your personal information that is based on my legitimate interests or public interest. If this is done, I must provide compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which overrides your interests, rights, and freedoms, in order to proceed with the processing of your personal information.
Right to be Informed: You have the right to be informed with how your data is collected, processed, shared and stored.
Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal information that I hold about you at any time by submitting a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR). The statutory deadline for fulfilling a DSAR request is 30 calendar days from our receipt of your request.
Right to Erasure: In certain circumstances, you can ask for your personal data to be erased from the records held by organisations. However this is a qualified right; it is not absolute, and may only apply in certain circumstances.
When may the right to erasure apply?
Right to Rectification: If personal data is inaccurate, out of date, or incomplete, individuals have the right to correct, update or complete that data. Collectively this is referred to as the right to rectification. Rectification may involve filling the gaps i.e. to have to have incomplete personal data completed – although this will depend on the purposes for the processing. This may involve adding a supplementary statement to the incomplete data to highlight any inaccuracy or claim thereof.
This right only applies to an individual’s own personal data; a person cannot seek the rectification of another person’s information.
Notification of data breaches: Upon discovery of a data breach, we will investigate the incident and report it to the UK’s data protection regulator and yourself, if we deem it appropriate to do so.
Complaints: You have the right, at any time, to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). I would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact me in the first instance using the details below.
