​

As a company we need to deal with the (‘process’) of your personal information so that we can provide compliant services to you. This privacy notice tells you what we will do with that information, and your legal rights in relation to it under the GDPR or other data-protection laws which may apply.

​

What are your rights?

• As a ‘data subject’, you have the following legal rights.

• Right of access – you have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

• Right of rectification – you have the right to correct any information we hold about you that is not accurate or complete.

• Right to be forgotten – in certain circumstances, you can ask for personal information we hold about you to be erased from our records. (If we have another legal obligation to keep your information which would mean that we could not do this, we will explain that to you if you make such a request.)

• Right to restriction of processing – in certain circumstances, you might be able to restrict how we process your information.

• Right of portability – if we hold certain types of personal information about you, you may have the right to have it transferred to another organisation.

• Right to object – you have the right to object to certain types of processing, such as direct marketing.

• Right to object to important decisions being made about you, or anything about you being evaluated, by an automated process without any human involvement.

We will also send all of the above requests to anyone else we have shared your information with, and we will always try to respond to you within 4 weeks of receiving your request.

​

Consent

If we have asked for your specific permission (consent) to have and use your personal information, you can withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us by phone or emailing us.

This will not affect any processing of your personal information which we have done before you withdraw your consent.

We will ask you some questions to check your identity, and to allow us to note in our records that you have withdrawn your consent.

If you want to withdraw your permission for receiving marketing communications, you can do that by using the ‘unsubscribe facility’ in the communication itself (emails); by emailing us on our web page or at info"at"ukproduction.co.uk or by contacting us using the above phone number or email address.

We may have to pass on your personal information to other people or organisations to provide our services to you.

Whenever possible, we will only share your personal information with them on a confidential basis. If we do share information, we will keep to our data-security standards.

Your personal information – and why we need it

We will need to collect some personal information about you to form a relationship and so we can create and maintain proper records and provide our services. This information will include your, full name; date of birth; address (business and personal); email address; financial details; and phone number.

Data-protection laws say that we have to have a legal basis for processing your information. In most cases, we will only process your personal information, so we can carry out our contract with you, or to take any steps you ask us to before entering into a contract with you; as necessary to keep to any legal obligations we may have; or where necessary in the legitimate interests of this firm or someone else, as long as those interests take priority over your own rights in the circumstances.

If none of these reasons applies, we may have to ask for your specific permission.

We will only collect or handle this personal information if we need to so we can provide our services to you.

If we collect personal information about you from a source other than you (unless you already have that information, the law says we can’t, or it is confidential), we will tell you what that information is; and where it has come from.

If the information is wrong or incomplete, you will be entitled to ask us to correct it.

If we are allowed by law, we may use your details to contact you with information about our services or legal developments we think may interest you. You can tell us at any time not to send you these messages.

How long do we keep your information?

We will need to keep your personal information for different time periods, depending on the nature and the purpose (or purposes) for which it was collected.
