Fair Information Practices:

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the European Union and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:We will notify you via email

• Within 7 business days

• Within 72 hours any breaches will be sent to the Information Commisioners Office (UK).

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

11. If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email us at alison-mci-art@outlook.com

and we will promptly remove you from ALL correspondence.

12. Right to Erasure : Under Article 17 of the GDPR individuals have the right to have personal data erased. This is also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’. The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances.

The GDPR specifies two circumstances where you should tell other organisations about the erasure of personal data:

the personal data has been disclosed to others; or
the personal data has been made public in an online environment (for example on social networks, forums or websites).

When does the right to erasure not apply?

The right to erasure does not apply if processing is necessary for one of the following reasons:

to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;
to comply with a legal obligation;
for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority;
for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific research historical research or statistical purposes where erasure is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of that processing; or
for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
The GDPR also specifies two circumstances where the right to erasure will not apply to special category data:
if the processing is necessary for public health purposes in the public interest (eg protecting against serious cross-border threats to health, or ensuring high standards of quality and safety of health care and of medicinal products or medical devices); or
if the processing is necessary for the purposes of preventative or occupational medicine (eg where the processing is necessary for the working capacity of an employee; for medical diagnosis; for the provision of health or social care; or for the management of health or social care systems or services). This only applies where the data is being processed by or under the responsibility of a professional subject to a legal obligation of professional secrecy (eg a health professional).
We may require ID. If we have doubts about the identity of the person making the request we can ask for more information. However, it is important that you only request information that is necessary to confirm who they are. The key to this is proportionality. You should take into account what data you hold, the nature of the data, and what you are using it for.You will be notified without undue delay and within one month that we need more information from you to confirm your identity. We reserve the right not to comply with the request until we have received the additional information.

13. Contacting Us: If there are any questions regarding this privacy policy, you may contact us using the information below.

We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or are required by law to do so. We may use your personal information to send you promotional information about third parties which we think you may find interesting if you tell us that you wish this to happen.
