Your right of access



You have the right to find out if we are using or storing your personal data. This is called the right of access. You exercise this right by asking for a copy of the data, which is commonly known as making a ‘subject access request’.

How to access you data



You can make a subject access request to find out what data is held and how it is used. You may make a subject access request before exercising your other information rights.

You can make a subject access request verbally or in writing. We would recommend emailing selfcatering@goldsgroup.co.uk.

If you make your request verbally, we would recommend that you follow it up in writing to provide a clear trail of correspondence. It will also provide clear evidence of your actions.

To exercise your right of access, follow these steps

Step 1

• Identify where to send your request
• Think about what personal data you want to access.

Step 2

• Make your request directly to us.
• State clearly what you want.

You might not want all the personal data that we hold about you. We may be able to respond more quickly if you explain this and identify the specific data you want.

When making a subject access request, include the following information:

• Your name and contact details.
• Any information used by us to identify or distinguish you from other people with the same name (account numbers etc).
• Any details or relevant dates that will help it identify what you want.

• Keep a copy of your request.
• Keep any proof of postage or delivery.

When can we say no?

We may legally have to refuse your subject access request if your data includes information about another individual, except where:

• the other individual has agreed to the disclosure, or
• it is reasonable to provide you with this information without the other individual’s consent.

In deciding this, we will balance your right to access your data against the other individual’s rights regarding their own information

We can also refuse your request if it is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’. In any case we will tell you and justify our decision.
