SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your Personal Data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password so that you can access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential.

YOUR RIGHTS

Under the new data protection regulations, you have the following rights:

• Obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not we process Personal Data from you and, where that is the case, access to your Personal Data;
• Rectification of inaccurate Personal Data;
• Erasure of Personal Data;
• Objection to the processing of Personal Data;
• Restriction of processing of Personal Data; and
• Portability of Personal Data – to receive the Personal Data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable form and transmit it to another data controller.

In some instances, our legal obligations or public duties may override your rights under data protection laws.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (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 may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

You can learn more about these rights here: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/individual-rights/ . If you have any further queries about this policy, or wish to find out more about your rights, please contact the Data Privacy Manager.  Should you choose to exercise any of these rights, a record will be maintained by Wigmore Technologies.

This Privacy Policy will come into force on November 2021.
