For compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation we are subject to
Where you have provided your consent

Sharing your information

Personal information provided by you when contacting us about our services, will be disclosed to our personnel to facilitate any enquiries you have, or for the provision of services to you. It may also be disclosed to companies we work with who support us in providing those services (where applicable), such as IT hosting companies. Where we use external companies to process your personal information, we require third parties to comply strictly with our instructions and data protection laws and we will make sure that appropriate controls are in place where third parties have access to personal data.

Transfer of your data to other countries

Updating, deleting and restricting use of your personal information

It is important that the information we hold about you is accurate and up to date. Please keep us informed if there are changes to the personal information we hold about you.

By law you have the right to:

Request access to your personal data, which is referred to as a “data subject access request”. This allows you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and check we are processing it lawfully
Request the correction of personal data we hold about you. This enables you to correct any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to remove or erase your personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
Object to processing your personal data (where we rely on legitimate interest or those of a third party) and there is a particular reason regarding your situation for you to object. Where we process your personal data for direct marketing, you also have a right to object.
Request a restriction of processing your personal data. This enables you to request a suspension in processing your personal data.
Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.

If you wish to inform us of any changes, object, withdraw consent for us processing your personal data or access the information we hold about you, please contact JD2E. Please note in some cases we may not be able to delete, correct, restrict or grant an objection to processing your personal data if we have a legal obligation, legitimate interest or contractual reason to process it. If we refuse such a request, we will advise you, together with your right of appeal.
If you are requesting access to personal information, please also let us have sufficient information to identity you (including proof of your identity and address – e.g. a copy of your passport, driving licence and a recent utility bill or bank or credit card statement). You should also let us know the information to which your request relates, including any matter or reference numbers if you have them. This request is free of charge unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
We hope that we can resolve any query or concern your raise about our use of your personal information. If you are unsatisfied with our response to any issues you raise you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner, who is the supervisory authority for data protection in the UK. They may be contacted at www.ico.org.uk or telephone 0303 123 1113. Further information about your rights can also be found on their website.
