Your right of access

You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information. This right always applies. There are some exemptions, which means you may not always receive all the information we process. We will tell you if this is the case.

You can make a subject access request to us in order to find out what data we hold and how it is used. You may make a subject access request before exercising your other information rights. You can make a subject access request verbally or in writing but if you make your request verbally, we strongly recommend you follow it up in writing to provide a clear trail of correspondence.

To exercise your right of access, please:

State clearly what you want. You might not want all the personal data that we hold about you. We may respond more quickly if you explain this and identify the specific data you want.
Provide your name and contact details.
Any information helpful to us to identify or distinguish you from other people with the same name (property address, time periods, etc).

When we respond to your request, we will provide you with a copy of your data. We may do this electronically. If you need your data in another format, you must ask us if this is possible.

You are entitled to be told the following things:

For what purposes we are using your data.
With whom we are sharing your data.
How long we will store your data, and how we made that decision.
Information on your rights to challenge the accuracy of your data, to have it deleted, or to object to its use.
Your right to complain to the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) or through the courts.
Information on where your data came from.
Whether your data is used for profiling or automated decision making and how we are doing this.
If we have transferred your data to a third country or an international organisation, what security measures we took.

We may refuse your subject access request if your data includes information about another individual, except where:

the other individual has agreed to the disclosure, or
it is reasonable to provide you with this information without the other individual’s consent.

In deciding this, we will have to balance your right to access your data against the other individual’s rights regarding their own information.

Your right to rectification

You have the right to ask us to rectify information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete. This right always applies.

If you believe that information we hold about you is inaccurate you should contact us as follows:

State clearly what you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.
Explain how you believe we should correct it.
Where available, provide evidence of the inaccuracies.

Your right to erasure

You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information in certain circumstances. If you consider that we should erase the personal information we hold about you, you should tell us what data you wish to have erased and why. We will confirm to you that we have deleted the data we hold about you unless we are unable to do so in which case we will tell you why.

We will inform anyone else we have shared your data with about the erasure unless this is impossible or would involve disproportionate effort. We will inform you of the fact we have shared your data with these other people, if you ask us.

You are not required to pay any charge for exercising your rights unless we consider your request to be manifestly unfounded or excessive. We have one month to respond to you, unless we need more time in which case we will tell you within one month why we need more time and provide you with an expected timescale.

Please contact us at www.stoneandlong.com if you wish to make a request.

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.
