GDPR Information

About GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law that came into effect in May 2018. Following the UK's departure from the European Union, the UK GDPR continues to apply alongside the Data Protection Act 2018, ensuring robust protection of personal data.

Star-ocelot is committed to complying with both UK GDPR and EU GDPR where applicable, ensuring your personal data is handled lawfully, fairly, and transparently.

Data Controller

Star-ocelot acts as the data controller for personal information collected through our website and services. This means we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data.

Your Rights Under GDPR

The GDPR provides you with specific rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Be Informed

You have the right to know how your personal data is being collected and used. We provide this information through our Privacy Policy and this GDPR page.

Right of Access

You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is commonly known as a Subject Access Request (SAR). We will respond within one month of receiving your request.

Right to Rectification

If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. We will make corrections within one month.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the "right to be forgotten," you can request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including:

• The data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected
• You withdraw consent (where consent was the legal basis)
• You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
• The data was unlawfully processed

Note that we may need to retain certain data for legal or contractual obligations.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of data or object to processing.

Right to Data Portability

Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you can request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling, and to processing for direct marketing purposes.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have rights related to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not currently make decisions based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights, please contact us via email at [email protected]. To protect your privacy, we may need to verify your identity before responding to requests.

We will respond to most requests within one month. If your request is complex or we receive numerous requests, we may extend this by up to two additional months, but we will inform you of any extension within the first month.

There is no fee for exercising your rights in most circumstances. However, if requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request.

Data Protection Principles

We adhere to the six principles of data protection:

• Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency: We process data lawfully and openly
• Purpose limitation: We collect data for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes
• Data minimisation: We collect only what is necessary
• Accuracy: We keep data accurate and up to date
• Storage limitation: We retain data only as long as necessary
• Integrity and confidentiality: We protect data through appropriate security measures

Lawful Bases for Processing

We process personal data under the following lawful bases as appropriate:

• Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your data for a specific purpose
• Contract: Processing is necessary to perform a contract with you or take steps to enter into a contract
• Legal obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with the law
• Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, unless overridden by your rights

Data Breaches

In the unlikely event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours and, where required, inform affected individuals without undue delay.

Complaints

If you are not satisfied with how we handle your personal data or respond to your requests, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority:

Information Commissioner's Office
Wycliffe House, Water Lane
Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF
