We may ask you for proof of identity when making a request to exercise any of these rights. We do this to
ensure we only disclose information when we know we are dealing with the right person.
We will not charge you for any of these requests unless we think your request is unfounded, repetitive or
excessive. Where a fee is necessary, we will inform you before we proceed with your request.
We will respond to all valid requests within 30 days. It may however take us longer if the request is
particularly complicated or you have made several requests. We will always let you know if we think a
response will take longer than one month. To speed up our response, we may ask you to provide more detail
about what you want to receive or are concerned about.
We may not always be able to do what you have asked, for example, if it would impact the duty of
confidentiality we owe to others, or if we are otherwise legally entitled to deal with the request in a
different way.
The right to be informed
You can ask us what data we hold on you and what we do with it.
The Right of Access / Data Subject Access Request (DSAR)
You can ask us to provide you with a copy of your personal data that we hold about you by contacting us at
asb@barbicanassociation.co.uk. Please note that the BA
will not provide copies of any emails sent to or received from yourself as you already have received this
information. We also will not provide any internal emails or documents that may contain your name unless the
information contained in the email is:
- significantly biographical with regards to you as the data subject and/or;
- you as the data subject were the focus of attention in the document.
We may be unable to make all information available to you if, for example, making the information available
to you would reveal personal data about another person or if your request is manifestly unfounded or
excessive.
Correcting Personal Information / Right of Rectification
You can ask us to correct any information about you which is incorrect. We will be happy to correct such
information but may need to verify the accuracy of it first.
Right to Erasure / Right to Be Forgotten
You can ask us to:
- erase your personal information if you think we no longer need to use it for the purpose we
collected it from you;
- erase your personal information if you have either withheld your consent to use your information (if
we originally asked for your consent to use your information), or exercised your right to object to
further legitimate use of your information, where we have used it unlawfully or where we are subject
to a legal obligation to erase your personal information.
We may not always be able to comply with your request, for example, if we need to keep using your personal
information in order to comply with our legal obligations or where we need to use it to establish, exercise
or defend legal claims.
Right to Restrict Processing / Withdrawing Consent
Where we have asked for your consent to use your personal information, you will always have the right to
withdraw your consent. We will still hold your details on our databases but will not contact you.
Requesting a transfer of personal information / Data Portability
You can ask us to:
- provide your personal information to you in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable
format;
- or you can ask to have it transferred directly to another data controller (i.e. another
organisation).
