GDPR Data Subject Access Requests
Please use the form below to request a copy of any personal data we may have stored on you — and specify if you have no further need for our data processing, and wish for it to be permanently deleted.
Storage of data subject access requests
Note; once any data stored has been deleted, we will still need to keep a copy of this request for our records, to comply with regulatory obligations.
Privacy-first technology choices
Be assured, we are promoters, supporters and advocates of all personal data privacy needs and expectations, respecting all our website and services users, without prejudice.
You may notice in our Privacy Policy, our avoidance of using common big-tech services, tools and hidden functions, that may have complex, convoluted or otherwise questionable data privacy and protection policies across many jurisdictions, and have or be associated with conflicted interests in targetted advertising businesses.
It is beyond our resources to monitor and, by proxy of usage, endorse such far-reaching services, beyond the absolute necessary, and clearly identifiable.
Our default choice in use of any data processing services is always self-hosted and identifiably managed — for security, privacy, and minimal data footprint — therefore minimising risks of unidentifiable loss, breach, or misappropriation.
We’ve worked extensively to make technical development choices, where possible, that avoid using or needing cookies — and will continue to work towards a cookie-free website as soon as possible and practicable.
We fully respect all reasonable requests, unquestionably, and encourage all businesses to adopt a similar consideration for privacy rights and protection consideration in all their technology choices and data processes.
GRPR requests in complaints
GDPR requests are sometimes used against companies to highlight flaws in their policies and processes, in lieu of making an example of this in a complaint, and incurring the company time-costs for any perceived time-wasting they may have caused.
We hope that you would not feel the need to do this with us, especially as a small owner-managed business.
We encourage complaints to be raised with us, in the first instance, through this complaints page and form, so we may understand and resolve the source of any issue — with your confidence that it does not in any way affect your data protection and privacy rights, which you may still ask to be honoured, at any time and unquestionably, here.
Identification of legitimate personal data requests
Please complete all details, so we can verify the identity of all requests, respectful of data privacy risks in requests for personal data.
For the avoidance of doubt, relatives and spouses will still need a letter of authorisation, or other verifiable proof of authority in requests.
Response expectations
We will respond within 30 days, or let you know if there is any reason a request may take longer.
This request will remain on file to be automatically deleted after 1 year on live systems accessible by staff, and 2 years on backup systems accessible by systems administrators.
