Your rights  

The Data Protection Act 1998 and the GDPR give you the right to access information held about you.

However, if a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, DYCUK or HHT is not obliged to comply with it. Alternatively, DYCUK or HHT can agree to respond but may charge a fee, which will be based on the administrative cost of responding to the request.

The GDPR further provides you with the following rights.
  • Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
  • Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Request transfer of your personal information to another party in certain formats, if practicable.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights you should, in the first instance email DYCUK/HHT at mail@dycuk.org
