2. Our Commitment to Data Protection

We are committed to protecting your personal data and ensuring transparency in how we collect, process, and store your information. Our data protection practices are designed to comply with UK GDPR requirements and best practices.

3. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

As a data subject, you have the following rights under UK GDPR:

3.1 Right to be Informed

You have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data. This information is provided in our Privacy Policy, which explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.

3.2 Right of Access

You have the right to obtain confirmation that your personal data is being processed and to access your personal data. You can request a copy of your personal data by contacting us at privacy@wissenova.com. We will respond to your request within one month.

3.3 Right to Rectification

You have the right to have inaccurate personal data corrected or completed if it is incomplete. If you believe any information we hold about you is incorrect, please contact us to update it.

3.4 Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

You have the right to request the deletion or removal of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing. This right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the original purpose.

3.5 Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction or suppression of your personal data. This means we can store your data but not use it. This right applies in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of your data.

3.6 Right to Data Portability

You have the right to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. This allows you to move, copy, or transfer personal data easily from one IT environment to another in a safe and secure way.

3.7 Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including for direct marketing purposes. If you object to processing for direct marketing, we will stop processing your data for this purpose.

3.8 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.

4. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights under UK GDPR, please contact us:

We will respond to your request within one month of receipt. If your request is complex or we receive multiple requests, we may extend this period by a further two months, and we will inform you of this extension.

5. Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your personal data under the following lawful bases:

  • Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose
  • Contract: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you
  • Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation
  • Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party

6. Data Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

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

7. Data Breach Notification

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