Your Rights:

You have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• to withdraw consent where that is the legal basis of our processing

If you have given your consent for the processing of your personal data and you wish to withdraw it, please contact us using the contact details set out below. Please note that where our processing of your personal data relies on your consent and where you then withdraw this, we may not be able to provide all or some aspects of our services to you and/or it may affect the provision of those services. Note also that withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal data relying on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

• to access your personal data that we process

You have the right to a copy of data held by Wasafiri about you. This is called a subject access request. Please contact us for more information.

• to rectify inaccuracies in personal data that we hold about you

For instance, you can ask us to rectify inaccurate or incomplete data or perhaps add a supplementary statement to your record.

• to erasure (‘be forgotten’) i.e. for your details to be removed from systems that we use to process your personal data

You have a limited right to request that Wasafiri deletes data it holds about you; this is generally only applicable where you have initially given us your consent to process your personal data and there will often be a requirement for us to continue to hold some data.

• to restrict the processing of your data in certain ways

In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that Wasafiri restricts its use of your personal data, where we still store some but no longer process it further, and to object to Wasafiri’s processing of your personal data based only on grounds relating to your particular situation.

• to obtain a copy of your data in a commonly used electronic form

In some cases, you have a right to data portability where you can request that Wasafiri provides you with a copy of your personal data to allow your own use, for example to transfer to another provider.

• to object to certain processing of your personal data by us

In certain circumstances, you can object to processing, including the sending and receipt of direct marketing. If you’ve already agreed to us using your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you can change your mind by contacting us directly, altering your preferences or by selecting the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of any marketing emails we send you.

• to lodge a complaint

If you wish to complain about any aspect of Wasafiri’s handling of your data, you have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner’s Office. Please see ico.org.uk for details. You also have a right to complain through the courts.

Wasafiri will not ordinarily charge you in respect of any requests we receive to exercise any of your rights detailed above. However, if you make excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded requests, we may charge you an administration fee in order to process such requests or refuse to act on such requests. Where we are required to provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing this will be free of charge; however, any further copies requested may be subject to reasonable fees based on administrative costs.
