Data protection law governs situations where personal data are ‘processed’. Processing basically means using personal data in any way, including; collecting, storing, retrieving, consulting, disclosing or sharing with someone else, erasing, or destroying personal data. We are also the processors of your data.
We have a range of obligations under data protection law, and in particular must comply with the principles of data protection, as found in Article 5 GDPR, ensuring personal data are: processed lawfully, fairly and transparently; processed for specific purposes; limited to what is necessary; kept accurate and up to date; stored for no longer than necessary; and protected against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. We must also be able to demonstrate compliance with these principles, under the principle of accountability.
The legal justifications for the processing of your personal data are consent and contractual necessity.
Your rights under the GDPR include: the right to be informed if, how, and why your data are being processed; the right to access and get a copy of your data; the right to have your data corrected or supplemented if it is inaccurate or incomplete; the right to have your data deleted or erased; the right to limit or restrict how your data are used; the right to data portability; the right to object to processing of your data; and the right not to be subject to automated decisions (which you are not) without human involvement, where it would significantly affect you.
