Request correction
You have the right to request correction of the Personal Data 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.
Request erasure
You have the right to request erasure of your Personal Data in specific circumstances. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no valid legal basis for us to continue to process it.

Note, however, that we may not always be obliged or able to comply with your request for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.Object to processing
You have the right to object to the processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) as a legal basis for use of your data, 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.

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Data 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.Data Portability
You have the right to request the transfer of your Personal Data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Note that this right only applies:
To Personal Data you provided directly to us;
Where our only legal basis for using the Personal Data is your consent or performing a contract with you personally; and
To the extent that we process the relevant Personal Data by automated means (so, not Personal Data we hold on paper or another durable medium).Withdraw consent
You have the right to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent, and we reserve the right to continue to use your Personal Data if we have another valid legal basis for doing so under Data Protection Law. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to or administer our relationship with you or your organisation We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
You have the right to make a complaint about our use of your Personal Data at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”). The ICO is the UK’s supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk).
If you do have a problem, question or concern about our use of your Personal Data, we would really appreciate the chance to try to help you before you approach the ICO, so please feel free to contact us in the first instance using our contact details above.

Data Protection Law and UK GDPR
The UK’s data protection regime is set out in the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. The Information Commissioner is the UK’s independent supervisory authority on data protection. The EU GDPR adequacy decision means that data can continue to flow from the EEA in most cases. The decision does not cover data transferred for the purposes of immigration control or where the UK immigration exemption applies.

Lawful Basis
There are a number of different lawful bases for processing your Personal Data which we may use:
Legitimate Interest means an interest in conducting and managing our business to enable us to provide automotive diagnostic services. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your Personal Data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your Personal Data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us

“Personal Data”
means any information about an individual, held by a data controller, from which the controller can identify a specific, living person. It does not include data about a living person that the controller can’t identify.
Some Personal Data falls into “Special Categories” under GDPR and are given greater protection. These include any Personal Data revealing your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, and information about your health, as well as genetic and biometric data. Information about criminal convictions and offences is also treated differently from ordinary Personal Data under the GDPR.
