You have the right to request access to the personal data that we process about you. Brawn tries to be a transparent as possible, and all information is available, if you need help accessing this information then please contact support@brawn.co.uk

Right to rectification

You have a right to have inaccurate personal data rectified or completed if it is incomplete.

Right to erasure

This gives you the right to request that we erase your information from our systems under certain circumstances.

This is not an absolute right to have your data erased and can be a bit confusing, for example if you are a supplier of goods and services to us, we need to process your information so that we can pay you. You can read more about when this right applies here.

If we do not believe that we need to comply with your request, we will explain why.

To request this you can send an email to dataprotection@brawn.co.uk

Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request the restriction or the suppression of your personal data, again it only applies in certain cases and is an alternative to the “Right to erasure”. You will need to contact our Client in order to process this request, but we can suspend the use of data while this is fulfilled by our Client. You can read more about this right here.

Right to data portability

you provided the personal data to the data controller (Brawn)

where our lawful basis is based on your consent or contract; and

is processed by automated means.

Processing which is based on legitimate interest, or the performance of a task in the public interest where there is no overriding justification for the processing of your data.
