Your Rights Under UK GDPR

The UK GDPR provides you with the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Be Informed

You have the right to be informed about how we collect and use your personal data. This information is provided in our Privacy Policy and this GDPR statement.

Right of Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is commonly known as a Subject Access Request (SAR). We will respond to your request within one month of receipt.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request that we correct any personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete. We will make corrections within one month of your request.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including:

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request that we limit how we use your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or have objected to processing.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller, where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects. echo-chassis does not currently use automated decision-making in relation to our clients or website visitors.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month. In complex cases, we may extend this period by up to two additional months, but we will inform you of any extension within the first month.

There is no fee for exercising your rights in most cases. However, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on a request if it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

Data Processing Activities

We process personal data for the following purposes:

International Transfers

echo-chassis primarily operates within the United Kingdom. We do not routinely transfer personal data outside the UK. If any international transfer becomes necessary, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.

Data Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including:

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk, we will also notify affected individuals without undue delay.
