Subject Access Requests

We will endeavour to respond quickly to any such requests, which legally require us to respond within one month of receiving the request and necessary information.

This includes objecting to profiling unless it is in the ‘public interest’ or exercised lawfully by an official authority. We will only process data where we can demonstrate lawful grounds for doing so. We will act on any request without delay as instructed by you as Data Controller.

Right not to be subject to decisions based on automated processing

We do not use any automated processing that results in any automated decision based on a data subject’s personal information.

 

Legal basis for the processing

 

GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. 

 

Processing shall be lawful only if and to the extent that at least one of the following applies:

    1    the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;

    2    processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

    3    processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;

    4    processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

    5    processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

    6    processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

 

Period for which the personal data will be stored

 

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
