5. What rights do you have in relation to the personal information stored?

You have the right to:

  • Be informed about the collection and use of your personal data, including via this Privacy policy. This a key transparency requirement under the UK GDPR
  • Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a ‘data subject access request’), enabling you to receive a copy of the personal data that TirMara Advisory holds about you. This right always applies, although there are some exemptions which means you may not always receive all the information TirMara Advisory processes. You can request access to your personal data by getting in touch with TirMara Advisory via this website’s Contact page
  • Request correction of the personal data that TirMara Advisory holds about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data about you corrected, though TirMara Advisory may first need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide
  • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask TirMara Advisory to delete or remove personal data in certain circumstances. You also have the right to ask for your personal data to be deleted or removed where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where TirMara Advisory may have processed your information unlawfully or where local law requires that your personal data be erased. Note, however, that TirMara Advisory may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request
  • Object to processing of your personal data where TirMara Advisory is relying on a legitimate interest but there is something about your situation that makes you want to object as you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where TirMara Advisory is processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, TirMara Advisory may demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask TirMara Advisory to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want TirMara Advisory to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where TirMara Advisory’s use of the data is unlawful but you do not want it erased; (c) where you need the data to be held even if TirMara Advisory no longer requires it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to the use of your data but TirMara Advisory needs to verify whether there are overriding legitimate grounds to use it
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. TirMara Advisory will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for use or where the information is being used to perform a contract with you
  • Withdraw consent at any time where TirMara Advisory is relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, TirMara Advisory may not be able to provide certain products or services to you and will advise you if this is the case at the time 
  • You will not usually have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, TirMara Advisory may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, TirMara Advisory could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What TirMara Advisory may need from you
TirMara Advisory may need to request specific information from you to help confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. You may also be contacted for further information in relation to your request to speed up TirMara Advisory’s response.

Time limit to respond
TirMara Advisory will try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made more than one request. In this case, you will be notified and kept updated.

6. Information about other individuals 

When providing TirMara Advisory with content, materials or information that contains personally identifiable information about other individuals, you must comply with Data Protection Laws. Please ensure you share this Privacy Notice with the respective individual(s).
