Your rights – more details
Right to be informed – you have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data. This is a key transparency requirement under the GDPR.
Right of access – you have a right to ask us to confirm whether we are processing information about you, and to request access to this information.
Right to object – you have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or performance of a task in the public interest / exercise of an official authority; direct marketing and processing for the purposes of scientific, statistical or historical research. We must comply with any request to stop processing for the purposes of direct marketing. The right to object is not absolute in relation to processing for legitimate interests and research purposes.
Right to rectification – you have the right to require us to rectify information about you that is inaccurate. You may also ask us to remove information which is inaccurate, or complete information which is incomplete. If you inform us that your personal data is inaccurate, we will inform relevant third parties with whom we have shared your data so they may update their own records.
We want to ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. If any of the information that you have provided us changes, for example if you change your email address etc, please let us know at info@sunny-bank.org. We will update your details as soon as possible and within one month.
Right of portability – you have a right to obtain your personal data from us and re-use it for your own purposes, without hindering the usability of the data. This includes the right to require us to pass on information we obtained from you to another data controller. This right applies when we process your data with consent and we are carrying out processing by automated means.
Right to be forgotten – you have a right to seek the erasure of your data. You may wish to exercise this right for any reason, for example where it is no longer necessary for us to continue holding or processing your personal data. This right is not absolute, as we may need to continue processing this information, for example, to comply with any legal obligations, or for reasons of public interest. We may also need to keep some information about you in order to, for example, comply with an instruction not to contact you again. We will respond to a right to be forgotten request within one month.
Right to restriction – you have a right to ask us to restrict our processing of your information (‘right to restriction’) if:
– you contest its accuracy and we need to verify whether it is accurate
– the processing is unlawful and you ask us to restrict use of it instead of erasing it
– we no longer need the information for processing, but you need it to establish or defend legal claims
– you have objected to processing of your information being necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, or for the purposes of our legitimate interests. The restriction would apply while we carry out a balancing act between your rights and our legitimate interests. If you exercise your right to restrict processing, we would still need to process your information for exercising or defending legal claims, protecting the rights of another person or for public interest reasons.
This is an alternative right to the right to be forgotten and it is not an absolute right. If we refuse a request for restriction we will explain why. We will respond to requests for restriction within one calendar month.
If we rely on consent as the legal basis for processing, you can withdraw your consent to that processing. However, we often rely on different legal bases for different aspects of processing. This means that we may not be able to act on your request if we have a compelling legal reason not to.
