Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Right to Be Informed

You have the right to know how we collect and use your personal information. Our Privacy Policy provides detailed information about our data processing activities.

Right of Access

You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. This is commonly known as a Subject Access Request (SAR). We will respond within one month of receiving your request.

Right to Rectification

If you believe any personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. We will rectify the information within one month.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the right to be forgotten, you can request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances, such as:

• The information is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected
• You withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
• You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
• The information was processed unlawfully

Right to Restrict Processing

You can request that we limit how we use your personal information while we verify its accuracy, if you have objected to processing, or where processing is unlawful but you do not want erasure.

Right to Data Portability

Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you can request your personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Right to Object

You can object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. If you object, we will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.

Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

You have rights regarding automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. We do not currently use automated decision-making in our services.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided above. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will respond within one month, though this may be extended by two months for complex requests.

Lawful Bases for Processing

We process personal information under the following lawful bases:

• Contract: Processing necessary to provide our consulting services as agreed with you
• Consent: Where you have given clear consent, particularly for health-related information relevant to disability benefits
• Legal obligation: Where we must process data to comply with the law
• Legitimate interests: For business administration and service improvement, where these interests do not override your rights

Special Category Data

Health information processed in connection with disability benefit applications is classified as special category data requiring additional protections. We only process such data with your explicit consent and solely for the purpose of your benefit claim.

International Transfers

We do not routinely transfer personal information outside the United Kingdom. If any transfer becomes necessary, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours. Where the breach is likely to result in high risk to your rights, we will also notify you directly without undue delay.

Supervisory Authority

The supervisory authority for data protection in the United Kingdom is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). If you are dissatisfied with how we handle your personal information, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the ICO.
