GENERAL PRIVACY NOTICE

How long do we keep your personal data?

We will keep some records permanently if we are legally required to do so.  We may keep some other records for an extended period of time. For example, it is current best practice to keep financial records for a minimum period of 7 years to support HMRC audits.  In general, we will endeavour to keep data only for as long as we need it.  This means that we may delete it when it is no longer needed.

Your rights and your personal data  

You have the following rights with respect to your personal data:
 
When exercising any of the rights listed below, in order to process your request, we may need to verify your identity for your security.  In such cases we will need you to respond with proof of your identity before you can exercise these rights.
 
1.  The right to access information we hold on you

• At any point you can contact us to request the information we hold on you as well as why we have that information, who has access to the information and where we obtained the information from.  Once we have received your request we will respond within one month.
• There are no fees or charges for the first request but additional requests for the same data may be subject to an administrative fee .

 
2.  The right to correct and update the information we hold on you

• If the data we hold on you is out of date, incomplete or incorrect, you can inform us and your data will be updated.

4.  The right to object to processing of your data

Upon receiving the request we will contact you and let you know if we are able to comply or if we have legitimate grounds to continue to process your data.  Even after you exercise your right to object, we may continue to hold your data to comply with your other rights or to bring or defend legal claims.
