Your rights over your information
By law, you can ask me what information I hold about you, and you can ask me to correct it if it is inaccurate. All fields are self-filled when you join the list, so the information I hold is information you completed.

Individuals’ rights
On request, I will delete data.
If someone asked to see their data, I would take a screenshot of their entry/entries.
If you unsubscribe yourself from the list via the email unsubscribe button the data is automatically deleted.

I aim to respond to all requests within 72 hours and usually much sooner (allowing for holiday/travelling, as I am the only person holding/having access to the data).
I have appointed myself as the Data Protection Officer – in the absence of anyone else!
International
My lead data protection supervisory authority is the UK’s ICO.
