The GDPR provides you with certain rights in relation to the processing of your personal
data, including to:

  • Request access to personal data about you (a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you, and
    to check that we are lawfully processing it;
  • Request rectification, correction, or updating to any of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate
    information we hold about you corrected;
  • Request personal data provided by you to be transferred in machine-readable
    format;
  • Request erasure of personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process
    it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below);
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you (e.g. if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it); and
  • Object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. This right may apply where the processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interests.

Some of these rights are not absolute and are subject to various conditions under applicable data protection and privacy legislation and the laws and regulations to which we are subject. If at any time you decide that you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, or if you would like to exercise any of your rights as set out above, you can contact us at dataprotection@proximityinsight.com, or write to the address above. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances. In addition to the above, please note that you have the right to make a complaint at any time to us as the Controller of your personal data. You may also submit a further complaint to the relevant supervisory authority, (in the UK this is the Information Commission) if you are still concerned about the way we are handling your personal data.
