Accessing your information

When can you request access?

You have the right to:

  • confirmation that your information is being processed
  • access to your information, and
  • certain other information (most of which should be in our information notice anyway).

You can request copies of paper and electric records about you that we hold, share or use. To deal with your request, we can request proof of identity and enough information to enable us to locate the information you request.

When will access not be provided?

We can only provide you with your information, not information about another person. Also, where access would adversely affect another person’s rights, we’re not required to provide this.

Please clearly set out in your access request the information that you’re requesting. If this is not clear, we may come back to you to ask for further information by way of clarification.

Correcting your information

You have the right to obtain from us without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you.

You may also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement. Whether or not this is appropriate in any particular case depending on the purposes for which your information is being processed.

We need to notify any third parties with whom we’ve shared your information that you’ve made a rectification request (see “What do we do with it?”) We’ll take reasonable steps to do this, but this may not always be possible or may involve disproportionate effort.

Erasing your information

When can you request erasure?

You have a right to have your information erased, and to prevent processing, where:

  • the information is no longer necessary for the purpose it was originally collected/processed
  • you withdraw consent (where previously provided), or
  • you object to the processing and our legitimate interests in being able to keep processing your information don’t take priority, or
  • we’ve been processing your information in breach of data protection laws, or
  • the information has to be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation, or
  • the information is processed in relation to offering information society services (i.e. social networking sites and internet forums) to a child.

When can we refuse erasure requests?

The right to erasure does not apply where your information is processed for certain specified reasons.  More importantly, if we have to erase your data we will not be able to contact you about the orchestra.

Restricting processing of your information

When is restriction available?

You have the right to restrict the processing of your information in the following circumstances:

  • where you contest the accuracy of the information, we need to restrict the processing until we’ve verified the accuracy of the information,
  • when processing is unlawful and you oppose erasure and request restriction instead,
  • if we no longer need the information but you need this to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim, or
  • where you’ve objected to the processing in the circumstances detailed in “Objecting to processing”, and we’re considering whether those interests should take priority.

Taking your information with you

When does the right to data portability apply?

The right to data portability only applies:

  • to information you’ve provided to us (i.e. not any other information)
  • where the processing is based on your consent or for the performance of a contract, and
  • when processing is carried out by automated means.

We do not anticipate this right arising in the context of a running an orchestra.

Objecting to processing

You’ve the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on legitimate interests or the performance of a task in the public interest/exercise of official authority (including profiling based on these).

If we can show compelling legitimate grounds for processing your information which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or we need your information to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, we can continue to process it. Otherwise, we must stop using the relevant information.

What next?

If your objection is accepted, you can request for processing of your relevant information to be restricted or for this to be erased.
