  • To satisfy the terms of the Contract between us.

  • Our use is necessary for complying with our legal obligations;

  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) as a commercial organisation (to the extent that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests), such as:

    • to detect and protect against fraud;

    • to make sure we are following our own internal procedures so we can deliver the best services

How long do we keep your personal information?

Where your personal information is no longer needed, we will ensure that it is disposed of in a secure manner. Below are the general criteria we use to determine how long we will keep your personal information, whereupon we will either delete or anonymise the data:

we will generally retain your data for a period of 6 years from the date you first visited our website or engaged with us.

In some circumstances, we may store your personal information for longer periods of time where we are required to do so in accordance with legal or regulatory requirements or so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation relating to your personal information or dealings.

Your legal rights

You have legal rights in connection with personal information. Under certain circumstances, by law, you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

  • Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.

  • Request erasure of your personal information (commonly known as the "right to be forgotten"). This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information in limited circumstances, where: (i) it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected; (ii) you have withdrawn your consent (where the data processing was based on consent); (iii) following a successful right to object (see Object to processing); (iv) it has been processed unlawfully; or (v) to comply with a legal obligation to which the Organisation is subject.

We are not required to comply with your request to erasure personal information if the processing of your personal information is necessary for a number of reasons, including: (i) for compliance with a legal obligation; or (ii) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

  • Object to processing of your personal information by us or on our behalf which has our legitimate interests as its legal basis for that processing, if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our legitimate interests. If you raise an objection, we have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests which override your rights and freedoms.

  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, but only where: (i) its accuracy is contested, to allow us to verify its accuracy; (ii) the processing is unlawful, but you do not want it erased; (iii) it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, but we still need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (iv) you have exercised the right to object, and verification of overriding grounds is pending.

We can continue to use your personal information following a request for restriction, where: (i) we have your consent; (ii) to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (iii) to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.

  • Withdraw consent to processing where the legal basis for processing is solely justified on the grounds of consent.

 

If you want to exercise any of these rights, please submit your requests in writing to info@lucacollina.co.uk. Please note, to ensure the security of personal information, we may ask you to verify your identity before proceeding with any such request.

We reserve the right to charge a fee, where permitted by law, for instance, if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

We may not always be able to fully address your request, for example, if it would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others, or if we are legally entitled to deal with the request in a different way.
