GDPR NOTICE
Last updated on Thursday 26th August 2021
Europe is now covered by the world's strongest data protection rules. The mutually agreed General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force on May 25th, 2018, and was designed to modernise laws that protect the personal information of individuals.
GDPR applies across the entirety of Europe but each individual country has the ability to make its own small changes. In the UK, the government has created a new Data Protection Act (2018) which replaces the 1998 Data Protection Act.
After the UK has left the European Union (Brexit) the UK's Data Protection Act (2018) will superseed the GDPR but both are very similar. They have been drafted to ensure harmony across the EEA.
What rights does the GDPR / Data Protection Act (2018) grant you?
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, or have further questions about the processing, storage or use of your personal data, please contact us at gdpr@d3ep.com.
If you are not satisfied with our response to any complaint or believe our processing of your information does not comply with data protection law, you can make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) using the following details:
Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF

What rights does the GDPR / Data Protection Act (2018) grant you?
- The right to be informed - You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your information and your rights. This is why we’re providing you with the information in our Privacy Policy.
- The right of access - You have the right to obtain access to your information (if we are processing it), and certain other information (similar to that provided in our Privacy Policy). This is so that you are aware and can check that we are using your information in accordance with data protection law.
- The right to rectification - You are entitled to have your information corrected if it’s inaccurate or incomplete.
- The right to erasure - This is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’ and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your information where there is no compelling reason for us to keep using it. This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions.
- The right to restrict processing - You have rights to ‘block’ or suppress further use of your information. When processing is restricted, we can still store your information, but may not use it further. We keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their information to be ‘blocked’ to make sure the restriction is respected in future.
- The right to data portability - You have rights to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services.
- The right to object to processing - You have the right to object to certain types of processing, including processing for direct marketing.
- The right to lodge a complaint - You have the right to lodge a complaint about the way we handle or process your personal data with your national data protection regulator. The contact details for the UK Information Commissioner’s Office is provided below.
- The right to withdraw consent - If you have given your consent to anything we do with your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (although if you do so, it does not mean that anything we have done with your personal data with your consent up to that point is unlawful).
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, or have further questions about the processing, storage or use of your personal data, please contact us at gdpr@d3ep.com.
