You have a number of rights under data protection law in relation to the personal information we hold about you.
Your rights include:
Access - the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you (a "subject access request").
Rectification - the right to require us to correct any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you.
Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”) - the right to request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances, such as where the information is no longer needed, you withdraw consent, or you successfully object to processing.
Restriction of Processing - the right to request that we suspend processing of your personal information, for example if you want us to verify its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
Data Portability - the right to request a copy of your personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transfer that data to another organisation where processing is based on consent or contractual necessity.
Object to Processing - the right to object to the processing of your personal information where we rely on a legitimate interest (including profiling). You have an absolute right to object to your personal information being used for direct marketing purposes.
Withdraw Consent - the right to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal information. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Not to be Subject to Automated Decision Making - the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, where such decisions would have a significant legal effect on you.
If you wish to exercise any of your rights, please contact us at info@pre-law.co.uk.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
