You have the right to access any personal information that The Tipsy Sassenach processes about you and to request information about:
- What personal data I hold about you
- The purposes of the processing
- The categories of personal data concerned
- The recipients to whom the personal data has/will be disclosed
- How long I intend to store your personal data for
- The source of this personal Information if I did not collect the data directly from you.
If you believe that I hold any incomplete or inaccurate data about you, you have the right to ask me to correct and/or complete the information. I will strive to update/correct it as quickly as possible; unless there is a valid reason for not doing so, at which point you will be notified.
You also have the right to request the erasure of your personal data or to restrict processing in accordance with data protection laws, as well as to object to any direct marketing from me and to be informed about any automated decision-making that I use.
If I receive a request from you to exercise any of the above rights, I may ask you to verify your identity before acting on the relevant request; this is to ensure that your data is protected and kept secure.
Safeguarding
The Tipsy Sassenach takes every reasonable measure and precaution to protect and secure your personal data. I work hard to protect you and your information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.
Where I outsource IT provision, I will only engage those companies that can satisfy the requirements laid down in legislation regarding the safe and secure processing of personal data. Wherever possible, I use systems that only store personal data within the UK. However, where I choose to use methods outside of this, I ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect this personal data.
How long I keep your data
The Tipsy Sassenach only ever retains personal information for as long as is necessary. Where you have consented to me using your details for direct marketing, I will keep such data until you notify us otherwise and/or withdraw your consent. I will review all data annually to meet these requirements. At the very most, personal data will be destroyed after six years.
Notification of a data breach
As soon as I am aware of a personal data breach that may result in physical, material or non-material damage to individuals, I will notify the ICO without delay and where feasible, within 72 hours after having become aware of it.
Making a complaint
I only process your personal information in compliance with this privacy notice and in accordance with the relevant data protection laws. If, however you wish to raise a complaint regarding the processing of your personal data or are unsatisfied with how I have handled your information, you have the right to lodge a complaint with us and/or the supervisory authority.
