We will keep your personal data only for as long as required in order to achieve the purposes for which it was gathered, in line with this privacy notice. For determining when personal data should be erased we shall take into consideration the amount of and sensitivity of the personal data we have, the amount of harm that could be caused by a data breach, the benefits of the purposes the data is being used for and any legal requirements that we are bound to.

You may request that we erase your personal data at any time, though in cases where there is a remaining relevant or legal reason why we are required to keep the data we may opt to restrict the amount of processing being conducted to what is absolute necessary in line with your legal rights in order to minimise the impact the processing will have.

There are several rights granted to you immediately upon providing us with your personal information; some of these are mentioned above. We’d like you to know that at Techspace we take your rights as a Natural Person seriously and will always conduct ourselves in a way that is considerate of our responsibility to serve your legal rights.

According to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing at any time. The lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until withdrawl is not affected. The right of withdrawal may be exercised by means of an informal declaration. A written declaration or alternatively an email to the above contact address is sufficient.

This grants you the right to confirm whether or not your personal data is being processed, and to be provided with relevant details of what those processing operations are and what personal data of yours is being processed.If you would like access to the personal data we have about you, we ask that you contact us by using any of the details below.

This one is fairly straight forward; if you notice that the data we have about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request we rectify the mistake. We will make every effort to respond to requests of this type immediately.

According to Art. 17 GDPR you have the right to demand that we erase your personal data without any delay. We are obliged to erase personal data immediately if one of the provisions of Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR applies. One of these reasons is that the data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they are collected or otherwise processed.

Pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to demand that we restrict processing if one of the conditions set out in Art. 18 GDPR applies. This includes, for example, that you dispute the accuracy of the personal data. Then we may process the data only to a limited extent as long as it takes to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

The right to object is a basic freedom all democracies enjoy. If you wish to object to the way we use, or have used, your personal data you may do so freely.

This is a legal right afforded to you that states we must pass on all of the details you have provided to us in a machine-readable format, either to your or to another provider of your choosing.

Pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects on you or similarly significantly affects you. Art. 22 para. 1 GDPR provides for exceptions to this rule, whereby Art. 22 para. 4 GDPR in turn contains some exceptions to withdrawal.

We will always try to maintain the highest standards and encourage the confidence our customers have in us as an organisation. In order that we can achieve this we do request that any complaints be first brought to our attention so we can properly investigate matters; if however you would like to complain about Techspace Group Ltd to a supervisory authority you may do so by contacting the Information Commissioners Office on 0303 123 1113, or anyone of the other reporting methods listed on their website.
