where this is an electronic message, or by contacting us using the details set out below in the “How do I get in touch with you or the SRU?” section.

Who will we share this data with, where and when?

In addition to sharing data with the SRU, we may share your data with: Local Authority and Police for safeguarding purposes.

You have the right to ask us for a copy of your personal data; to correct, delete or restrict (stop any active) processing of your personal data; and to obtain the personal data you provide to us for a contract or with your consent in a structured, machine readable format.

In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the data for direct marketing).

These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping.

You have the same rights for data held by the SRU.

you with appropriate assistance, services or support.
