3. What Are My Rights?
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

This means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business.
h) Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your personal data in this way.
For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided in Part 13.

• If you have registered access our Catalogue online, your personal data will be kept until you unsubscribe by clicking the unsubscribe link in the footer of any email you receive from us, or by contacting us at info@iksel.com.

8. How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My Personal Data?
We may store or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of the European Economic Area (i.e. all EU member states, plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein). These are known as “third countries” and may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or the EEA. This means that we take additional steps to ensure that your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be under the GDPR.
Where we transfer your data to a third party based in the US, that party will always comply with the provisions of the EU-US Privacy Shield and provide data protection to standards similar to those in Europe.
9. Do You Share My Personal Data?
We will never sell your data. We will not share any of your personal data except:
a) when legally required to do, which might include yours, if we are involved in legal proceedings or complying with legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government authority;
b) with our offices and subsidiaries in other countries;
If any of your personal data is required by a third party, as described above, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data is handled safely, securely, and in accordance with your rights, our obligations, and the third party’s obligations under the law.
10. How Can I Control My Personal Data?
In addition to your rights under the GDPR, when you submit personal data via our Site, you are given options to restrict our use of your personal data and opt-out from receiving emails from us at the point of providing your details.
11. Can I Withhold Information?
You may register for access to our online Catalogue by providing only your name and email address.
12. How Can I Access My Personal Data?
If you want to know what personal data we have about you, you can ask us in writing for a copy of it. This is known as a “subject access request”.
Email or post your request to the addresses shown in Part 13.
There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.
Normally, we will respond to your subject access request within 10 working days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
