10. Your rights

Under the Data Protection Laws, you have the rights to:

  • Request access to your information (commonly known as a “subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of your data and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

 

  • Request correction of your information. This enables you to ask us to correct any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you. ArrowXL will ensure that personal data is kept accurate and up to date as far as is reasonably possible. However, ArrowXL relies on clients and customers to ensure that some information it holds about them is accurate and up-to-date. We encourage clients and customers to inform ArrowXL of any changes to their information or delivery requirements (e.g. by updating account details or contacting us).

 

  • Request erasure of your information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove your information in certain circumstances; for example, if you consider that there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your information if you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below). Where personal data is still needed for a lawful purpose, it may not be possible to delete that data and some requests may therefore be declined.

 

  • Object to processing of your information where we are relying on our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing for this reason. You would also have the right to object if we used your data for direct marketing purposes.

 

  • Request the restriction of processing of your information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your information; for example, if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

 

  • Request the transfer of your information to another party (data portability). This right only applies to information which you have provided to us. You have the right to ask that we transfer the information you gave us from one organisation to another, or give it to you. The right only applies if we are processing information based on your consent or under, or in talks about entering into a contract and the processing is automated.

 

Please note that the above rights are not absolute, and we may be entitled to refuse requests where exceptions apply.  Before we respond to or process a request proof of identification may also be required in order to protect your information and to ensure it is not disclosed to unauthorised parties.

You are not required to pay any charge for exercising your rights. We have one month to respond to you.
