Right to be informed – When your data is collected, we have to tell you what we are going to do with it, this will be through this Privacy Policy and consent statement.

​

Right of access – You have the right to contact us in writing to request details of the information we hold about you.

​

Right of rectification – You have the right to ask us to rectify information that we hold about you if this is inaccurate or incomplete.

Right to erasure– This is also known as the right to be forgotten and gives you the right to request your information to be removed if there is no compelling reason for its continued processing. A word of warning though, we keep a list of people who have asked not to be contacted which is used to ensure that you receive no further marketing information from MP. Without this list your data could enter our system again from another source and we would have no record of the fact that you asked us not to contact you.

​

Right to restrict processing – this is the alternative to erasure and gives you the right to tell us to stop processing your data but allowing us to keep enough information about you to ensure that you’re wishes are respected in the future.

 

Right to data portability – this gives you the right to ask the holder of your information to transfer that information to another business. This right would be most commonly used if you were switching banks, insurance companies, utility companies or mobile phone companies.

 

Right to object – you have the right to object to the processing of your data for marketing purposes and profiling for marketing purposes. Your rights and freedoms override our interests.

 

Rights related to automated decision-making including profiling – we do not use automated decision-making processes which would have a potentially damaging effect on the information we hold about you. But if we did you have the right to obtain human intervention, express your point of view and obtain an explanation of the decision and challenge it.

 

Rights to withdrawn consent at any time where relevant – you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your information at any time and we must provide you with the information to need to do so at the time we collect your data and each time we contact you.
