23. Your Privacy Rights

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you may have a number of rights regarding your personal information.

To help protect your privacy and the security of your information, we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to your request.

We aim to respond to all requests within the time limits required by applicable data protection legislation.

In most cases, exercising your rights is free of charge. However, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee or refuse a request where permitted by law, for example where a request is manifestly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.

25. Automated Decision-Making

We do not routinely make decisions about individuals based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

Where automated processing is used for website functionality, security, fraud prevention or analytics, it will be carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

If this position changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any information required by law.

26. Data Breaches

We take the protection of personal information seriously and maintain procedures for identifying, investigating and responding to suspected personal data breaches.

Where we are legally required to do so, we will notify the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and affected individuals in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.

We hope to resolve any questions or concerns you may have regarding the way we process your personal information.

If you believe we have not handled your personal information appropriately, we encourage you to contact us first so that we can investigate and attempt to resolve the matter.
