Your rights and how to contact us

Data protection legislation provides you with the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • The right to access a copy of the personal data we hold about you (commonly known as a subject access request (SAR))
  • The right to rectify the personal data we hold about you where it is inaccurate or incomplete
  • The right to have the personal data we hold about you deleted (commonly known as the right to be forgotten)
  • The right to restrict the way we use your personal data
  • The right to data portability e.g. get your personal from us in a commonly used and machine readable format or ask transfer it another organisation
  • The right to object to the way we process your personal data

You can access and amend some data and opt out of marketing by using our privacy centre or logging into your account.

In addition to these rights, if you gave us consent to use your data e.g. so that we can send you marketing emails, you can withdraw your consent at any time and free of charge. Information on how to do this is on each marketing email you receive as well as the preference centre.

Often, how we deal with data subject rights will be through our business as usual processes. There are some rights that we will always comply with, such as an objection to receiving direct marketing. However, we are not obliged to comply with all requests we receive. If there is a legitimate reason why we cannot comply with a request you make, for example a legal requirement may mean we have to keep your data even if you have requested that we delete it, we will let you know. We aim to respond to you within one month of receiving your request. However, we are permitted to extend this timeframe by an extra two months, where necessary. If this is the case, we will let you know within a month of receiving your request.

We will not charge you for exercising your rights, unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case we may charge a reasonable fee for our administrative costs or refuse to act on your request. We may also charge a reasonable fee for additional copies of data. We may require identification from you before we can consider your request. If identification or a fee is required or we are refusing to act on your request, we will let you know without undue delay.

If you have any queries about this policy or would like to exercise any of your rights you can contact our Data Protection Officer at compliance@plustel.co.uk or at Innovation House, Innovation Way Discovery Park, Sandwich, Kent, CT13 9FF

Whilst we always endeavour to resolve your concerns, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner. Please visit the Information Commissioner’s Office’s website for more information on how to do this – www.ico.org.uk
