Your rights

The UK Data Protection Act 2018 provides rights for individuals:

• The right to be informed encompasses our obligation to provide ‘fair processing      information’, typically through a privacy notice. It emphasises the need for transparency over how we use personal data.
• The right of access- Individuals have the right to access their personal data and supplementary information. The right of access allows individuals to be aware of and verify the lawfulness of the processing.
• The right to rectification- your personal data can be rectified if it is inaccurate or incomplete
• The right to erasure is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’. The broad      principle underpinning this right is to enable an individual to request the deletion or removal of personal data where there is no compelling      reason for its continued processing for example upon the withdrawal of      consent for direct marketing.
• The right to restrict processing- individuals have a right to ‘block’ or suppress processing of personal data
• The right to data portability allows individuals to obtain and reuse their personal data for their own purposes across different services
• The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or the performance of a task in the public interest/exercise of official authority (including profiling); direct marketing (including profiling); and processing for purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics
• Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling. The DPA provides safeguards for individuals against the risk that a potentially damaging decision is taken without human intervention.
• The right to withdraw consent at any time, where relevant. We are required to make it as easy to withdraw consent as to give consent.
• The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
