6. GDPR Data Protection Rights

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you have certain data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR. We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to exercise these rights. Your rights include:

  1. Right to be informed: You have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data in a clear, transparent, and easily accessible way
  2. Right of access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data. We may charge a small fee for this service
  3. Right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete any information you believe is incomplete

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the following contact information: [Insert your contact details here] We will respond to your request within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. If you are unsatisfied with our response to your request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your country of residence. However, we would appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the authority, so please contact us in the first instance. Please note that we may not be able to comply with your request under certain circumstances, such as when we have compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. However, we will inform you of the reasons for not taking action on your request. By using our blog, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
