Overview

Lawful Basis for Processing
We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so under GDPR Article 6:
- Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose (e.g., responding to your consultation request)
- Contract: Processing is necessary for a contract we have with you or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract
- Legal obligation: Processing is necessary for us to comply with the law
- Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests
Your Rights Under GDPR
GDPR grants you extensive rights regarding your personal data:
Right to Access
You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether we are processing your personal data and, if so, to access that data along with specific information about the processing.
Right to Rectification
You can request correction of inaccurate personal data we hold about you and completion of incomplete data.
Right to Erasure
In certain circumstances, you can request deletion of your personal data. This right is not absolute and may not apply if we have a legal obligation to retain the information.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You can request that we restrict processing of your personal data in specific situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.
Right to Object
You can object to processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection, if you believe we have not handled your data appropriately.

How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of your GDPR rights, please contact us at [email protected] with your request. We will respond within one month of receiving your request, though this may be extended by two additional months for complex requests.
We may need to verify your identity before processing your request to ensure we are disclosing data to the correct individual.
Data Protection Measures
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:
- Encryption of data in transit and at rest
- Regular security assessments and updates
- Access controls and authentication requirements
- Staff training on data protection principles
- Incident response procedures
Data Breach Notification
In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay. We will also notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where required by law.
International Data Transfers
We process and store data within the United Kingdom. If we transfer personal data outside the UK or European Economic Area, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place as required by GDPR.
Automated Decision-Making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects on individuals.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with legal requirements. Our standard retention periods are outlined in our Privacy Policy.

We may update this GDPR compliance notice from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
