2. Lead Authority for UK GDPR

The lead authority is the supervisory authority. Therefore, the lead authority for Euzen Ltd is the UK’s Information Commission Office (ICO) and governed under the laws of England including UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. The UK is no longer an EU member state and the EU has added the UK to their Data Protection Adequacy List. This means the UK’s Data Protection Laws and regime is considered of equivalence to EU GDPR and thus allows the transfer of Data between the UK and the EU and EEA in compliance with GDPR.

 

3. The Purpose of this Notice

This Notice is designed to help you understand what kind of information we collect in connection with our products and services and how we will process and use this information. In the course of providing you with products and services we will collect and process information that is commonly known as personal data.

 

4. What Does This Notice Cover?

This Privacy Information explains how we use your personal data: how it is collected, how it is held, and how it is processed. It also explains your rights under the law relating to your personal data.

 

5. What is Personal Data?

Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”), as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’. GDPR is incorporated into UK Law in the Data Protection Act 2018 as UK GDPR.  Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.

The personal data that we use is set out in Part 7, below. Personal data may contain information which is known as special categories of personal data. This may be

information relating to and not limited to, an individual’s health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic and biometric data, or data relating to sexual orientation.

For the purposes of safeguarding and processing criminal conviction and offence data responsibly, this data is treated in the same manner as special categories of personal data, where we are legally required to comply with specific data processing requirements.

 

6. What Are Your Rights?

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

1. The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data. This Privacy Notice should tell you everything you need to know, but you can always contact us to find out more or to ask any questions using the details in Part 13.

2. The right to access the personal data we hold about you. Part 12 will tell you how to do this.

3. The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete. Please contact us using the details in Part 13 to find out more.

4. The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask us to delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that we have. Please contact us using the details in Part 13 to find out more.

5. The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.

6. The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.

7. The right to data portability. This means that you can ask us for a copy of your personal data held by us to re-use with another service or business in many cases.

8. Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your personal data in this way.

For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided in Part 13.

Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.  If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

10. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?

We will only store your personal data within the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). The EEA consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. This means that your personal data will be fully protected under the GDPR or equivalent standards by law.

We may also share your data with third parties located in the USA which are compliant with UK GDPR and UK Adequacy decisions. UK GDPR and the wider Data Protection Act 2018 includes reference to Codes for use of Cloud Services including services that may Transit Data via the USA. The security of your personal data is essential to us, and to protect your data, we take a number of important measures, including the following:

We may sometimes contract with third parties (as described above) that are located outside the UK or the European Economic Area (the “EEA” consists of all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). If any personal data is transferred to a third party outside of the UK or EEA, we will take suitable steps in order to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within the UK and under the UK GDPR, as explained above in Part 8.

In some limited circumstances, we may be legally required to share certain personal data, which might include your data, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority. If Data is transferred outside of the UK or the EEA and not covered by UK Adequacy Listing then Euzen Ltd will hold a specific Data Protection Agreement (DPA) inclusive of the Standard Clauses.

 

12. How Can I Access My Personal Data?

If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.

All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 13. To make this as easy as possible for you, a Subject Access Request Form is available for you to use. You do not have to use this form, but it is the easiest way to tell us everything we need to know to respond to your request as quickly as possible.

There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.

We will respond to your subject access request within fifteen working days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
