  9. What are your rights?

    You have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. In summary, you have the right to request: access to your data; rectification of any mistakes in our files; erasure of records where no longer required; restriction on the processing of your data; objection to the processing of your data; data portability; and various information in relation to the basis of any international transfers. You also have the right to complain to your supervisory authority (further details of which are set out in Section 11 below). These are defined in more detail as follows:

    RIGHT WHAT THIS MEANS
    Access You can ask us to:
    • confirm whether we are processing your personal data;
    • give you a copy of that data;
    • provide you with other information about your personal data such as what data we have, what we use it for, who we disclose it to, whether we transfer it abroad and how we protect it, how long we keep it for, what rights you have, how you can make a complaint, where we got your data from and whether we have carried out automated decision making or profiling, to the extent that information has not already been provided to you in this Policy.
    Rectification You can ask us to rectify inaccurate personal data. We may seek to verify the accuracy of the data before rectifying it.
    Erasure / Right to be Forgotten You can ask us to erase your personal data, but only where:
    • it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected; or
    you have withdrawn your consent (where the data processing was based on consent); or
    • it follows a successful right to object (see ‘Objection’ below); or
    • it has been processed unlawfully; or
    • it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation which we are subject to.
    We are not required to comply with your request to erase your personal data if the processing of your personal data is necessary: for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, in relation to the freedom of expression or for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes.
    Restriction You can ask us to restrict (i.e. keep but not use) your personal data, but only where:
    • its accuracy is contested (see ‘Rectification’ below), to allow us to verify its accuracy; or
    the processing is unlawful, but you do not want it erased; or
    • it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, but we still need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
    • you have exercised the right to object, and verification of overriding grounds is pending.
    We can continue to use your personal data following a request for restriction, where:
    • we have your consent; or
    • to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
    • to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.
    Portability You can ask us to provide your personal data to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or you can ask to have it ‘ported’ directly to another Data Controller, but in each case only where: the processing is based on your consent or the performance of a contract with you; and the processing is carried out by automated means.
    Objection You can object to any processing of your personal data which has our ‘Legitimate Interests’ as its legal basis (see Appendix 2 for further details), if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our Legitimate Interests. Once you have objected, we have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling Legitimate Interests which override your rights.

    9.1 You also have various rights in relation to any automated decision making, however we do not carry out these activities as we always involve meaningful human intervention.To exercise your rights you can contact us at dataprotection@ecoworldballymore.com. Please note the following if you do wish to exercise these rights:

    • 9.1.1 Identity. We take the confidentiality of all records containing personal data seriously, and reserve the right to ask you for proof of your identity if you make a request.
    • 9.1.2 Fees. We will not ask for a fee to exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data, unless your request for access to information is unfounded, repetitive or excessive, in which case we will charge a reasonable amount in the circumstances.
    • 9.1.3 Timescales. We aim to respond to any valid requests within one month unless it is particularly complicated or you have made several requests, in which case we aim to respond within three months. We will let you know if we are going to take longer than one month. We might ask you if you can help by telling us what exactly you want to receive or are concerned about. This will help us to action your request more quickly.
    • 9.1.4 Exemptions. Local laws, including in the UK, provide for additional exemptions, in particular to the right of access, whereby personal data can be withheld from you in certain circumstances, for example where it is subject to legal privilege.
  10. Complaints

    If you have a complaint or concern about how we use your personal data, please contact us at dataprotection@ecoworldballymore.com in the first instance and we will attempt to resolve the issue as soon as possible. You also have a right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection supervisory authority. In the UK, the supervisory authority for data protection is the ICO ( https://ico.org.uk/) .
