Data Protection & Your Rights
Plymouth Trade Finder aims to handle personal information fairly, responsibly and transparently.
UK data protection law gives individuals a number of rights concerning the use of their personal information. The precise rights available depend on the circumstances and the reason the information is being processed.
Your right of access
You may ask whether Plymouth Trade Finder holds personal information about you and request access to that information.
Your right to correction
You may ask us to correct personal information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
Your right to deletion
In certain circumstances, you may ask us to delete personal information about you.
This right does not necessarily require information to be deleted in every situation. There may be lawful reasons for retaining certain information.
Your right to restrict processing
In some circumstances you may ask us to restrict how your personal information is used.
Your right to object
You may have the right to object to particular uses of your personal information.
The right to object to processing for direct-marketing purposes is particularly strong. If an individual objects to direct marketing using their personal data, that processing must stop.
Withdrawing consent
Where we rely on your consent to process personal information, you may withdraw that consent.
Withdrawal does not make processing carried out before consent was withdrawn unlawful.
Business listing information
If you are a business owner, sole trader or other person identified within a Plymouth Trade Finder listing and believe information is incorrect, outdated or inappropriate, please contact us.
We may need reasonable evidence that you are the person concerned or are authorised to act for the business before making significant changes.
Making a data protection request
Send requests to:
privacy@plymouthtradefinder.co.uk
Please provide enough information for us to identify the information concerned.
We may request reasonable evidence of identity where necessary before releasing personal information or making certain changes.
Complaints
If you have a concern, please contact us first so that we have an opportunity to investigate.
You can also complain to the UK’s data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office.
