​

WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS?

Any personal information you supply will be treated in accordance with the DPA or GDPR, as applicable. We are committed to delivering the rights that individuals are entitled to under data protection laws in the UK. These are:

  • the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. To do this, please contact us at sarah.shaw@lexjamconsulting.com making clear that you are requesting a copy of your personal data and including full details of what you require. You may also be required to submit a proof of your identity;

  • the right to object to your personal information being used for direct marketing. We will give you the ability to object to this, and where required we will ensure we obtain your consent before undertaking marketing;

  • the right to object to your personal data being processed where the legal basis for the processing is our own legitimate interests as a business (see the ‘legal basis for processing’ section above). We will comply with such a request unless there is a lawful reason for not doing so, such as, when we need to continue to process your data to defend a legal claim;

  • the right to rectification. You may request that we rectify any inaccurate and/or complete any incomplete personal data;

  • the right to withdraw consent. You may, as permitted by applicable law, withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time.

Please note that if you withdraw your consent, you may not be able to benefit from certain service features for which the processing of your personal data is essential;

  • the right of erasure. You may request that we erase your personal data and we will comply, unless there is a lawful reason for not doing so. For example, there may be an overriding legitimate ground for keeping your personal data, such as, a legal obligation that we have to comply with, or if retention is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations;

  • the right to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may request that we provide your personal data to you in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format and have it transferred to another provider of the same or similar services to us. Where this right is applicable, we will comply with such transfer as far as it is technically feasible; and

  • the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. We suggest that you contact us about any questions or if you have a complaint in relation to how we process your personal data. However, you do have the right to contact the relevant supervisory authority directly.
