GDPR information
Your data protection rights, and what happens when you exercise them.
Draft for review. The controller identity, representative (where required) and supervisory authority must be confirmed by the site owner before publication.
Your rights
- Access — a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification — correction of inaccurate data.
- Erasure — deletion where we have no overriding reason to keep it.
- Restriction — pause processing while a dispute is resolved.
- Portability — receive data you gave us in a machine-readable form.
- Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Withdraw consent — at any time, without affecting prior processing.
Making a request
Send a request through the contact page, choosing “data protection request”. We may ask for enough information to confirm the request comes from you. Requests are answered within one month, extendable where the request is complex.
Journalistic processing
Some processing carried out for journalism carries exemptions under data protection law, including where complying would be incompatible with publishing in the public interest. Where an exemption is relied on, we will say so in our response rather than ignore the request.
Complaints
You can complain to your national supervisory authority. We would rather hear from you first so we can put a problem right.
