  9. Your rights
    1. As a Data Subject, you have the legal right to:
      1. Request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a ‘Data Subject access request’). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. We will need to verify your identity before we release any Personal Data to you.
      2. Request correction or erasure of your Personal Data (unless we have the legal right to retain it). This right also applied where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below). Please keep us advised of any changes to your Personal Data by emailing dataprotection@cdtltd.co.uk so that we can ensure that our records are up to date.
      3. Object to processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which entitles you to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes.
      4. Request the restriction of processing of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of Personal Data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
      5. Request the transfer of your Personal Data to another party.
      6. Change your data processing consents and preferences at any time.
    2. You should be aware that if you ask us to stop processing your Personal Data in a certain way or to erase your Personal Data, and processing that Personal Data is necessary in order for us to provide services to you, we may be unable to continue to provide those services. Similarly, your preferences and choices in relation to our website may mean that some or all of the website functionality becomes unavailable to you. This does not affect your right to object to direct marketing, which can be exercised at any time without restriction.
    3. If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your Personal Data, object to the processing of your Personal Data or request that we transfer a copy of your Personal Data to another party, please contact us at dataprotection@cdtltd.co.uk.
    4. You will not normally have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
    5. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
    6. In the limited circumstances where our collection, processing and transfer of your Personal Data is based upon consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact us at dataprotection@cdtltd.co.uk. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your Personal Data collected on that basis, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.
  10. Your responsibilities
    1. You remain responsible for the Personal Data that you make available to us and for the consequences of the same. You must not provide Personal Data to CDT in breach of any obligations to any third party relating to privacy, confidentiality, intellectual property or trade secrets unless you have obtained the explicit written consent of that third party to share that Personal Data with CDT for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.
