Basic data ((including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) may be retained for up to six (6) years for compliance purposes.
We retain your data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Policy or as required by law. Once data is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.
9. Your Rights Under UK law
You have the following rights regarding your personal data under the UK law:
As a data subject, you have several rights regarding your personal data. These rights are detailed below, along with guidance on how to exercise them.
Right of Access
You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you. This allows you to obtain a copy of your data. We will provide this copy unless doing so would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
Right to Rectification
You can ask us to correct or update any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. We may need to verify the accuracy of any new information you provide.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request that we limit the processing of your personal data in certain cases. This means we can store your data but not process it further, except with your consent or for legal or public interest reasons. You may exercise this right if:
(i) you dispute the accuracy of your data;
(ii) processing is unlawful;
(iii) you need the data for legal claims though we no longer require it; or
(iv) you have objected to processing (see below).
Right to Erasure
You can request that we delete your personal data in specific situations, such as when:
(i) the data is no longer needed for its original purpose;
(ii) you withdraw your consent;
(iii) you have objected to processing; or
(iv) your data has been processed unlawfully.
Right to Withdraw Consent
If we process your data based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the legality of processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn.
Right to Object
You may object at any time to the processing of your personal data. This right applies particularly when:
(i) we rely on legitimate interests (ours or those of a third party);
(ii) processing is for scientific, historical, or statistical purposes; or
(iii) data is used for direct marketing.
Please note that objecting does not automatically result in deletion of your data. In certain cases, we may demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing that override your interests and rights.
Right to Object to Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
You have the right not to be subject to decisions made solely by automated means (i.e., without human involvement). You are also entitled to receive meaningful information about any automated decision-making or profiling related to your personal data.
Right to Data Portability
You can request that we transfer your personal data to you or another data controller. We will provide the data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. This right applies only to data processed by automated means based on your consent or for contractual purposes.
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@claudepreval.com. We will respond in accordance with applicable law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at www.ico.org.uk, though we encourage you to contact us first.
