Your rights in respect of your data

There are a number of rights available to you under GDPR:

Access to your information

  • You can ask us to confirm that we process your personal data and provide access to and copies of the information we hold about you by emailing us at info@pie.uk.com. We will process your request to access your information and provide this information to you free of charge unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive or repetitive, in which case we are entitled to charge a reasonable fee. We may also charge if you request more than one copy of the same information.
  • We will provide the information you request as soon as possible and in any event within one month of receiving your request, unless there are extenuating circumstances. If we need more information to comply with your request, we’ll let you know.

 

Rectification of your data

  • If you believe personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, or any of the information you provide to us changes, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can make the necessary changes to the information we hold for you on our database. If you wish to make any changes to your information, please email us at info@pie.uk.com.
  • We will comply with your request within one month of receiving it, unless we don’t feel it’s appropriate for us to do so in which case we’ll let you know why. We’ll also let you know if we need more time to comply with your request.

 

Right to be forgotten

  • In some circumstances, you have the right to ask us to delete personal data we hold about you. This right is available to you:
    • where we no longer need your personal data for the purpose for which we collected it;
    • where we have collected your personal data on the grounds of consent and you withdraw that consent;
    • where you object to the processing and we don’t have any overriding legitimate interests to continuing processing the data;
    • where we have unlawfully processed your personal data (i.e. we have failed to comply with GDPR);
    • where the personal data has to be deleted to comply with a legal obligation; and
    • where the personal data we process relates to the offer of online services to a child.
  • There are certain scenarios in which we are entitled to refuse to comply with a request. If any of those apply, we’ll let you know.
  • To request that your information is deleted, please email us at info@pie.uk.com.

 

Right to restrict / object to processing

  • In some circumstances you are entitled to ask us to suppress processing of your personal data. This means we will stop actively processing your personal data but we don’t have to delete it. This right is available to you:
    • if you believe the personal data we hold isn’t accurate – we’ll cease processing it until we can verify its accuracy;
    • if you have objected to us processing the data (see below) – we’ll cease processing it until we have determined whether our legitimate interests override your objection;
    • if the processing is unlawful; or
    • if we no longer need the data but you would like us to keep it because you need it to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
      • You are entitled to object to us processing your personal data:
    • if the processing is based on legitimate interests or performance of a task in the public interest or exercise of official authority;
    • for direct marketing purposes (including profiling); and/or
    • for the purposes of scientific or historical research and statistics.
      • In order to object, you must have grounds for doing so based on your particular situation. We will stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate that there are compelling legitimate grounds which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
      • If you wish to restrict or object to the processing of your information, please email us at info@pie.uk.com.

Data Portability

  • You have the right to ask us to provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format so that you are able to transmit the personal data to another data controller. This right only applies:
    • to personal data you provide to us;
    • where processing is based on your consent or for performance of a contract (i.e. the right does not apply if we process your personal data on the grounds of legitimate interests); and
    • where we carry out the processing by automated means.
  • We’ll respond to your request as soon as possible and in any event within one month from the date we receive it. If we need more time, we’ll let you know.

If you have any complaints about our use of your personal data, please contact us. You are also entitled to report any concerns which you may have to supervisory authority in your jurisdiction. The supervisory authority in the UK is the Information Commissioner’s Office.
