Your rights regarding information

Pursuant to Article 13 paragraph 2 sub b UK GDPR and corresponding articles in EU data protection laws, each data subject has the right to information on and access to, and rectification, erasure and restriction of processing of his personal data, as well as the right to object to the processing and the right to data portability.

You can exercise these rights by contacting us at the following email address: support@clearstonebusiness.co.uk.

Ensure that you write “GDPR request” in the subject line of your email.

Within one month of the submitted request, you will receive an answer from us. We will not charge you for submitting your request unless the request is manifestly unfounded or otherwise unreasonable in its nature. Depending on the complexity and the number of the requests this period may be extended to two months.

Your personal data will not be used by our partners for commercial purposes.

If you encounter any personal data from other data subjects while visiting our website, you are to refrain from collection, any unauthorised use or any other act that constitutes an infringement of the privacy of the data subject(s) in question.

The collected data are used and retained for the duration determined by law. You may, at any time, request your data to be deleted from any Clearstone account, system or other data processing medium in accordance with the process described above.

 

Applicable law

These conditions are governed by British law. The court in the district where the controller has its place of business has the sole jurisdiction if any dispute regarding these conditions may arise, save when a legal exception applies.
