How we use your information
The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018 governs how companies like Sanctuary collect, store, use and share your personal information (data).
Under these regulations, any data subject (living person) has the right to:
- be informed about why we are collecting your personal data and how it will be used – this information is available from our privacy statements.
- request the information we hold on you.
- withdraw consent. Where we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time meaning we have to stop using the relevant personal data.
- in certain circumstances to be ‘forgotten’; this means you can ask us to delete data we no longer require, or if you withdraw your consent if it was collected on that basis.
Full details about individual rights is available from the Information Commissioner’s Office website.
