Privacy Policy

We care about your privacy and keep your personal data safe. This policy tells you how we do this when you use our website, no matter where you are. It also tells you about your privacy rights and how the law helps to protect you.

We always make sure that our suppliers protect your data rights when they move your data.

  13. DATA SECURITY

    We use security measures to keep your personal data safe from loss, misuse, or unauthorised changes or sharing. We only let our staff, agents, contractors and other partners see your personal data if they need to for their work. They must follow our rules and keep your data confidential. We will tell you and the appropriate regulator if there is a data breach.
  14. HOW LONG WE WILL HOLD YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR

    We only keep your personal data for as long as we need it for the reasons we collected it, or for any legal reasons. We may keep your personal data for longer if someone complains or if we think there may be a legal problem. We decide how long to keep your personal data by looking at:

    - how much, what kind and how sensitive your personal data is;
    - how likely it is that someone may misuse or share your personal data without permission;
    - why we use your personal data and if we can do that in other ways;
    - what the law, tax, accounting or other rules say.
  15. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

    You have some rights over your personal data that we hold. We have explained these rights below and how you can use them.

    Right of access

    You can ask us for a copy of your personal data that we have at any time. This is called a subject access request or SAR. You may have heard of this right before. We follow the ICO’s guide when we deal with your requests for your personal data. You can read this guide by visiting this link https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/your-right-to-get-copies-of-your-data/preparing-and-submitting-your-subject-access-request/. Please note that this right lets you get a copy of your personal data from us so you can check if it is correct and if we are using it lawfully. It is not a right that lets you ask for other people’s data, or for documents that do not have your data in them. You can use this right at any time by emailing us at diccon@dicconspain.org and telling us that you want a copy of your data. You do not need to use a special form to do this.

    Your right to change or delete your data

    You can ask us to change your personal data that we have if you think it is wrong or not up to date. You can also ask us to delete your personal data if you think we do not need it anymore (this is also called the “right to be forgotten”). Please note that we may ask you to prove that the new data you give us is correct and we may check it ourselves. Also, we do not have to delete your personal data if we have a good reason to keep it; if this happens, we will tell you why when we reply to your request. You can use this right at any time by emailing us at diccon@dicconspain.org and telling us that you want to change or delete your data and why. If you want us to change your data, you should tell us what the new data is. You do not need to use a special form to do this.

    Your right to limit how we use your data

    We may use your personal data for a good reason or for the public good (see this privacy policy for how and why we do this). You can ask us to stop using your data in this way if you think it affects your rights and freedoms or if you think our reason is not valid. You can also ask us to stop using your personal data if: (a) you think it is wrong and want us to check it; (b) we are using it unlawfully but you do not want us to delete it; or (c) we do not need it anymore but you want us to keep it for legal reasons. Please note that we may keep using your data if we have a good legal reason to do so. We will tell you why when we reply to your request or after we look into it. You can use this right at any time by emailing us at diccon@dicconspain.org and telling us that you want us to stop using some of your data and why. You do not need to use a special form to do this.

    Your right to move your data

    You can ask us to give you some of your personal data that we have and that we use by computers. You can ask us to give it to you in a format that is easy to read and use by other computers. We do not think this right will be used by most of the people we work with, because of the kind of work we do and the systems we use. But if you want to move your data from us to someone else, we will try to help you if we can.

    Your right to say no to marketing

    As we said before, we may send you emails or other messages about the Campaign and the people involved. You can tell us to stop at any time. You can do this by clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of each message (or by doing something similar). Or, if you cannot use those links, or if you want to talk to us directly – you can email us at diccon@dicconspain.org and tell us which messages you do not want to get anymore.

    Your right to know about automated decisions and profiling

    You have the right to know if we use your personal data to make decisions or profiles by computers without people being involved. If we do this, we will tell you how it works and what it means for you. Using your rights When you write to us to use your rights, we may ask you to prove who you are. We may ask you to send us copies of ID documents to check your identity. This is to make sure that we do not give your data to someone else by mistake. We may also contact you to ask you more questions about your request to help us answer faster. It will help us if you tell us clearly which right you want to use and why. The more details you give us, the better we can help you. If you do not give us enough information, we may have to wait until you do before we can do anything. We will tell you if this happens. You usually do not have to pay anything to use your rights. But we may charge you a reasonable fee if your request is not fair, repeated or too much. Or we may say no to your request in these cases. We try to reply to all requests within one (1) month. But it may take us longer than a month if your request is very complicated or if you have made many requests. If this happens, we will tell you and keep you updated.
  16. RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT

    If you are unhappy with the way that we have processed or handled your data then you have a right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
