Data Protection and Information Rights
Your Individual Rights
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018 provides individuals with a number of rights in relation to their personal data. There are eight individual rights, which concern:
- The right to be informed
- The right of access
- The right to rectification
- The right to erasure
- The right to restrict processing
- The right to data portability
- The right to object
- Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling
Individual Rights requests are usually free of charge and need to be responded to within one calendar month. A longer period and charge may be incurred if a request is particularly complex.
Requests should be made to our Data Protection office: dpo@ltegroup.co.uk. We may need to ask for additional information in order to process a request.
Accessing your information
Individuals have the right to access and receive a copy of their personal data, and other supplementary information. This is commonly referred to as a subject access request (SAR).
If you would like to make a request for a copy of the data held about you, you can submit a subject access request by any of the following methods:
- By email: dpo@ltegroup.co.uk
- By post: Data Protection Officer, Whitworth House, Ashton Old Road, Manchester M11 2WH
We aim to respond to subject access requests within the statutory response period of one calendar month.
Report a data protection incident
A data protection incident (personal data breach) is a breach of security that leads the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data.
