Data Subject’s Rights Under the Act and in even more so under the GDPR you have a number of Rights which we have outlined below:
Right of Access You are entitled to access your personal data so that you are aware of and can verify the lawfulness of the processing. This is achieved through the mechanism of a Subject Access Request (SAR) and you have the right to obtain:
1) Confirmation that your data is being processed (held) 2) Access to your personal data (a copy) and 3) Other supplementary information that corresponds to the information in this privacy notice.
13. Fees and Timings
Under GDPR and from 25 May 2018, this information will be provided without charge; without delay and within one month. If an extension is required or requests are considered manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because they are repetitive, Hue & Cry Limited may choose to charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information; or refuse to respond.

16. Right of Erasure
You may request the deletion or removal of personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing. The Right to Erasure does not provide an absolute ‘right to be forgotten’. However, you do have a right to have personal data erased and to prevent processing in specific circumstances:
1. Where the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was originally collected/processed. 2. When you withdraw consent. 3. When you object to the processing and there is no overriding legitimate interest for continuing the processing.
17. Right to Restrict Processing
Under the Act, you have a right to ‘block’ or suppress processing of personal data. The restriction of processing under the GDPR is similar. When processing is restricted, Hue & Cry Limited is permitted to store the personal data, but not further process it. In this event exactly what is held and why will be explained to you.
18. Right to Data Portability
You may request to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services.

1) To personal data you have provided to Hue & Cry Limited. 2) Where the processing is based on your consent or for the performance of a contract and 3) When processing is carried out by automated means.
In these circumstances Hue & Cry Limited will provide a copy of your data in CSV and/or PDF format free of charge within one month.
