To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information from your submission of data to us, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

11 YOUR RIGHTS

11.1 How can I access the information that you hold about me?

Under the GDPR you have the right to access information we hold about you (commonly known as a “data subject access request”) free of charge. If you would like a copy of this information, please email us at datachanges@ukimediaevents.com or writing to us at Data Controller, UKIP Media & Events Ltd at Abinger House, Church Street, Dorking, Surrey, RH4 1DF, United Kingdom.

11.2 What if I don’t want you to hold my information any more?

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by marking your preferences on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us at datachanges@ukimediaevents.com or writing to us at Data Controller, UKIP Media & Events Ltd at Abinger House, Church Street, Dorking, Surrey, RH4 1DF, United Kingdom.

11.3 Can I change the information you hold about me?

Where you have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. To withdraw your consent, please contact us on datachanges@ukimediaevents.com or writing to us at Data Controller, UKIP Media & Events Ltd at Abinger House, Church Street, Dorking, Surrey, RH4 1DF, United Kingdom. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.

11.4 Under certain circumstances you also have the right to:

• 11.4.1 Request access to the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• 11.4.2 Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes.
• 11.4.3 Request erasure of your 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 validly exercised your right to object to processing (see the provision below).
• 11.4.4 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 as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
• 11.4.5 Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal information in the following scenarios:
• (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;
• (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
• (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
• (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
• 11.4.6 Request the transfer of your personal information to you or to a third party.

If you want to contact us with regards to the information we hold about you as above, please do so by emailing us datachanges@ukimediaevents.com or writing to us at Data Controller, UKIP Media & Events Ltd at Abinger House, Church Street, Dorking, Surrey, RH4 1DF, United Kingdom. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

11.5 We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

12 TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND TO YOU

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or if you have made a number of separate requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

13 COMPLAINTS

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues at Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF, or by telephone at 0303 123 1113.
