YOUR RIGHTS
You have the right to access any personal information that we process about you, and to request information about:
- What personal data we hold about you (commonly known a “data subject access request”);
- The purposes of the processing;
- The recipients to whom the personal data has/will be disclosed;
- How long we intend to store your personal data for; and
- If we did not collect the data directly from you, information about the source.
If you believe that we hold any incomplete or inaccurate data about you, you have the right to ask us to correct and/or complete the information and we will strive to do so as quickly as possible; unless there is a valid reason for not doing so, at which point you will be notified. Where consent is the basis for holding your information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
You also have the right to request erasure of your personal data or to restrict processing (where applicable) in accordance with the data protection laws; as well as to object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object on those grounds. In addition, you have the right to data portability of your information and the right to be informed about any automated decision-making we may use, currently we do not use any automated decision-making.
If we receive a request from you to exercise any of the above rights, we may ask you to verify your identity before acting on the request. This is to ensure that your data is protected and kept secure. If your request is made by electronic means, we will respond using the commonly used electronic form unless you specifically requests otherwise. When requested, and provided that it is practical and commercially feasible to comply with the request and there is no legal or regulatory need for us to keep the information, we will delete identifying information from current operational systems.
To request access to any personal data we hold, please contact us by telephone on +44 (0) 1624 616544 or write to us at Suite 3, 1st Floor, The Jet Centre, Isle of Man Airport, Isle of Man, IM9 2RJ.
