  • The right to have your personal information corrected if it is inaccurate and to have incomplete personal information completed
    • You have the right to have inaccurate personal data rectified. We have one calendar month to respond to a request. In certain circumstances we can refuse a request for rectification.

    • direct marketing (including profiling); and
    • processing for purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics.
  • The right to restrict processing of your personal information
    • You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. This means that you can limit the way that we use your data. This is an alternative to requesting the erasure of your data. We have one calendar month to respond to your request

    • You can make a request for erasure verbally or in writing. We have one month to respond to a request. The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances

      • to personal data an individual has provided to Parkinson’s UK;
      • where the processing is based on your consent or for the performance of a contract; and
      • when processing is carried out by automated means.
  • Rights in relation to automated decision making which has a legal effect or otherwise significantly affects you
    • You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces significant legal effects concerning you.

We use the personal information you supply to handle orders, deliver products and services, process payments, communicate with you about orders, products, services and promotional offers, update your records and generally maintain your accounts with us.

We share customer information only as described below and with controls that are either subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

Third Party Service Providers

We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, analysing data, providing search results and links, processing credit card payments and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process the personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by applicable data protection laws.

Whenever we transfer personal information to countries outside of the European Economic Area in the course of sharing information as set out above, we will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by the applicable laws on data protection.
