You have the right to have your data deleted at any time. If you would like to see which data we hold onto, or if you would like us to delete your data, please contact creregen@kingston.gov.uk.

Your consent

By using our sites and submitting information, you consent to the collection and use of your personal data by us as described.

Links

Please note that our sites may from time to time contain links to and from other websites. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites and the information practices of those websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Please check the individual privacy policy of any website before you submit any personal data to them.

Data storage and retention

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password or other data which enables you to access certain parts of a website, you are responsible for keeping this password and any other log-in details confidential and we recommend that you do not share your password or other log-in details with anyone. You will be responsible for all activity under your username/login details. We will keep your personal data for only so long as is necessary or as otherwise required by applicable law.

By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Data subject rights

As a data subject, you may have rights in relation to your personal data which include:

1. Right to rectification. You may request that we rectify any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

2. Right to withdraw consent. You may at any time withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data carried out by us on the basis of your previous consent. Such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on such previous consent.

3. Right to make a subject access request (SAR). You may request in writing copies of your personal data. However, compliance with such requests is subject to certain limitations and exemptions and the rights of other individuals. Each request should make clear that a SAR is being made. You may also be required to submit proof of your identity and any payment permitted by law, where applicable.

4. Right to object to processing including automated processing and profiling. We do not always make automated decisions about data subjects.

5. Right to erasure. You may request that we erase your personal data. We will comply unless there is a lawful reason for not doing so. For example, there may be an overriding legitimate ground for keeping the personal data, such as, our business record retention obligations that we have to comply with. Also, you may request that we restrict our processing of your personal data in various circumstances. We will comply, unless there is a lawful reason for not doing so, such as a legal obligation to continue processing your personal data in a certain way.

6. Right to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may request we provide a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have it transferred to another provider of the same or similar services. To the extent it applies to us a controller, we will comply with a transfer request. Please note that a transfer to another provider does not imply the erasure of your personal data which may still be retained for legitimate and lawful purposes.

7. Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. We suggest that you contact us about any questions or complaints in relation to how we process your personal data. However, each data subject has the right to contact the relevant supervisory authority directly. This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Cookie Policy and Customise Your Settings
