Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) as “any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier.”

Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified.

The personal data that we use is set out in Section 5, below.

Section 4: What are your rights?

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

  8. Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your personal data in this way.

Section 9: How and where do we store your personal data? 

We may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (the “EEA” consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA.

Section 11: Right of Erasure (“the right to be forgotten”)

Under the GDPR, you are entitled to request that we erase, return or otherwise dispose of, any and all of the personal data that we hold in relation to you.
