Storing Your Personal Data

General Data Protection Regulations

Under GDPR you have the following specific rights in respect of the personal data we process:

i. The right to be informed about how we use personal data.

ii. This Privacy Policy explains who we are; the purposes for which we process personal data and our legitimate interests in so doing; the categories of data we process; third party disclosures; and details of any transfers of personal data outside the UK.

iii. The right of access to the personal data we hold. In most cases this will be free of charge and will be provided within one month of receipt.

iv. To obtain a copy of the personal information we hold on you, please write to us and provide us with your details or email; info@imrltd.co.uk

v. The right to rectification where data is inaccurate or incomplete. In such cases we shall make any amendments or additions within one month of your request.

vi. The right to erasure of personal data, but only in very specific circumstances, typically where the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was originally collected or processed; or, in certain cases where we have relied on consent to process the data, when that consent is withdrawn and there is no other legitimate reason for continuing to process that data; or when the individual objects to the processing and there is no overriding legitimate interest for continuing the processing.

vii. The right to restrict processing, for example while we are reviewing the accuracy or completeness of data, or deciding on whether any request for erasure is valid. In such cases we shall continue to store the data but will not further process it until such time as we have resolved the issue.

viii. The right to data portability which, subject to a number of qualifying conditions, allows individuals to obtain and reuse their personal data for their own purposes across different services.

ix. The right to object in cases where processing is based on legitimate interests, where our requirement to process the data is overridden by the rights of the individual concerned; or for the purposes of direct marketing (including profiling); or for processing for purposes of scientific / historical research and statistics, unless this is necessary for the performance of a public interest task.

x. Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling.

Measuring website usage (Google analytics)

We use Google Analytics to collect information about how people use our websites. We do this to make sure we are meeting the users’ needs and to understand how we could do it better.

Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the site, how you got here and what you click on. They do not collect or store your personal information (e.g. your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are.
