Your data protection rights explained

Our Commitment to GDPR

lucid-twist is committed to ensuring the security and protection of the personal information that we process. We have implemented robust policies and procedures to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

This page provides information about your rights under GDPR and how we handle your personal data.

Lawful Basis for Processing

We only process personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so. The lawful bases we rely upon include:

  • Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose, such as receiving marketing communications.
  • Contract: The processing is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract.
  • Legal obligation: The processing is necessary for us to comply with the law.
  • Legitimate interests: The processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those interests.

Your Rights Under GDPR

The GDPR provides you with the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Be Informed

You have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data. We provide this information through our Privacy Policy and this GDPR page.

Right of Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is commonly known as a Subject Access Request (SAR). We will respond to your request within one month.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data we hold about you, or complete any incomplete data.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the "right to be forgotten", you can request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have that data transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of your GDPR rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month. In certain circumstances, we may extend this period by up to two months, in which case we will inform you of the delay and the reasons for it.

We do not charge a fee for processing your request unless it is manifestly unfounded or excessive. In such cases, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request.

Data Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously. We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage.

These measures include:

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest
  • Access controls and authentication mechanisms
  • Regular security assessments and updates
  • Staff training on data protection

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly without undue delay.

International Data Transfers

If we transfer your personal data outside the UK, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner's Office.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Our retention periods are determined based on:

  • The nature of the data and the sensitivity of the information
  • The purposes for which the data is processed
  • Legal and regulatory requirements
  • Business and operational needs

Complaints

If you are not satisfied with how we handle your personal data or respond to your requests, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):

Information Commissioner's Office
