Section 8 – Your rights as a data subject

On request, LifeSafe Holdings plc will inform you as to what (if any) personal data we hold regarding you. You have the right to access the information which we hold about you as well as details of how we process this data through the submission of a Subject Access Request (“SAR”). In order to submit a SAR, please contact the Data Protection Officer through the contact details in Section 1 of this privacy policy, and include your full name, address, contact telephone number, and specifics of any exact data which you wish to request.

Requested information will be provided within one calendar month from the SAR being received by LifeSafe Holdings plc. If for any reason LifeSafe Holdings plc cannot meet this deadline (for example, if the requests made are numerous and complex), you will be informed of this within the initial one month window, with an explanation as to why the data has not yet been provided, along with an estimation of when the data will be collated and prepared for sending to you.

No charge is applied to a SAR, however, in the event of requests being manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive in nature, LifeSafe Holdings plc may charge a reasonable fee to complete the SAR. This fee will be based on the administrative costs incurred in providing the requested information..

In addition to the right to access your information, under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  • 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.

  • 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 the transfer of your personal information to another party.

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact the Data Protection Officer through the contact details in Section 1 of this privacy policy.

If you are in any way dissatisfied with how LifeSafe Holdings plc has handled your personal data, and are dissatisfied with your response from us after exercising any of your data subject rights or have any other concern with ourselves, you have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office at www.ico.org.uk.
