What are your rights
expand_more
You have a number of rights in relation to your personal data

You may request access to your data, correction of any mistakes in our files, erasure of records where no longer required, restriction on the processing of your data, objection to the processing of your data, and various information in relation to any Automated Decision Making and profiling or the basis for international transfers. You may also exercise a right to complain to your supervisory authority. More information about each of these rights can be found by clicking on the relevant link or by referring to the table set out further below.

To exercise your rights, you may contact us as set out HEREIN. Please note the following if you do wish to exercise these rights:

Right
You can ask us to:

confirm whether we are processing your personal data;

give you a copy of that data;

Access
provide you with other information about your personal data such as what data we have, what we use it for, who we disclose it to, whether we transfer it abroad and how we protect it, how long we keep it for, what rights you have, how you can make a complaint, where we got your data from and whether we have carried out any Decision Making or Profiling, to the extent that information has not already been provided to you in this Policy.

Rectification
You can ask us to rectify inaccurate personal data.

We may seek to verify the accuracy of the data before rectifying it.

Erasure
You can ask us to erase your personal data, but only where:

It is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected; or
You have withdrawn your consent (where the data processing was based on consent); or

Following a successful right to object; orIt has been processed unlawfully; or
To comply with a legal obligation to which Stubben Edge is subject.

We are not required to comply with your request to erase your personal data if the processing of your personal data is necessary:

For compliance with a legal obligation; or

For the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;

There are certain other circumstances in which we are not required to comply with your erasure request, although these two are the most likely circumstances in which we would deny that request.

Restriction
You can ask us to restrict (i.e. keep but not use) your personal data, but only where:
Its accuracy is contested to allow us to verify its accuracy; or

The processing is unlawful, but you do not want it erased; or
it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, but we still need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or

You have exercised the right to object, and verification of overriding grounds is pending.

We can continue to use your personal data following a request for restriction, where:
we have your consent; or

to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or

To protect the rights of another natural or legal person.

Portability
You can ask us to provide your personal data to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or you can ask to have it ‘ported’ directly to another Controller, but in each case only where:

The processing is based on your consent or on the performance of a contract with you; and

The processing is carried out by automated means.

Objection
You can object to any processing of your personal data which has our ‘legitimate interests’ as its legal basis, if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our legitimate interests.

Once you have objected, we have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests which override your rights and freedoms.

Automated Decision Making
You can ask not to be subject to a decision which is based solely on automated processing, but only where that decision:

produces legal effects concerning you (such as the rejection of a claim); or
otherwise significantly affects you.

In such situations, you can also obtain human intervention in the decision making, and we will ensure measures are in place to allow you to express your point of view, and/or contest the automated decision.

Your right not to be subject to automated decision making does not apply where the decision which is made:

Is necessary for entering into or performing a contract with you;
Is authorised by law and there are suitable safeguards for your rights and freedoms; or

Is based on your explicit consent.

However, in these situations you can still obtain human intervention in the decision making, and we will ensure measures are in place to allow you to express your point of view, and/or contest the automated decision.

International Transfers
You can ask to obtain a copy of, or reference to, the safeguards under which your personal data is transferred outside of the UK.

We may redact data transfer agreements or related documents (i.e. obscure certain information contained within these documents) for reasons of commercial sensitivity.

Supervisory Authority
You have a right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority about our processing of your personal data. In the UK, the supervisory authority for data protection is the ICO.

We ask that you please attempt to resolve any issues with us first although you have a right to contact your supervisory authority at any time.

Identity
We take the confidentiality of all records containing personal data seriously and reserve the right to ask you for proof of your identity if you make a request in respect of such records.

Fees
We will not ask for a fee to exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data, unless your request for access to information is unfounded, respective or excessive, in which case we will charge a reasonable amount in the circumstances. We will let you know of any charges before completing your request.

Timescales
We aim to respond to any valid requests within one month unless it is particularly complicated or you have made several requests in which case we aim to respond within three months. We will let you know if we are going to take longer than one month. We might ask you if you can tell us what exactly you want to receive or are concerned about. This will help us to action your request more quickly.

Third Party Rights
We do not have to comply with a request where it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other data subjects.
