3. What is Personal Data?
Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.
Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers.
The personal data that we use is set out in Part 5, below.

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

f) The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.
g) The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.
h) The right to data portability. This means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are
using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using
automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or
business in many cases.
i) Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your personal data in this
way.

6. How Do You Use My Personal Data?
Under the GDPR, we must always have a lawful basis for using personal data. This may be because the data is

data, or because it is in our legitimate business interests to use it. Your personal data may be used for one of the

your rights and comply with our obligations under the GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC
Directive) Regulations 2003, and you will always have the opportunity to opt-out.
7. How Long Will You Keep My Personal Data?

9. Do You Share My Personal Data?
We will not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes, subject to one important
exception.
In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include
yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the
instructions of a government authority.
10. How Can I Access My Personal Data?
If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and
for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 11.
To make this as easy as possible for you, a Subject Access Request Form is available for you to use. You do not
have to use this form, but it is the easiest way to tell us everything we need to know to respond to your request
as quickly as possible.
There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or
excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs
in responding.
We will respond to your subject access request within 10 working days and, in any case, not more than one
month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data
within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be
required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully
informed of our progress.
