Subject Access Request
Looking after your personal data
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) 2021 we have a duty to ensure the integrity of the personal data we gather, process, store and retain.
This means we must:
- Only use your information for lawful purposes
- Only use your information for the reason it was collected
- Tell you what we are going to do with your information
- Ensure that it is accurate and kept up to date
- Not ask for more information than we need, or than is relevant, but make sure we have enough information to carry out our duties
- Keep the information secure
- Not keep it longer than necessary
- Not send it to countries with less rigorous data protection laws without your permission
- Allow you to request a copy of the information we hold on you
- Give you the opportunity to amend information that is incorrect
- Allow you to request the deletion of personal data (where this does not contravene other applicable legislation).
Subject Access Request
You can request a copy of the information we hold through a Data Subject Access Request (sometimes referred to as a Personal Information Request) by completing the online subject access request form.
You can also request a form by telephone, letter or e-mail.
