What is Personal Data?
Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection
Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) as ‘any information relating
to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in
particular by reference to an identifier’.
Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you
that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information
such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious
information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other
online identifiers.
5.
What Are
My Rights?
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which I will
always work to uphold:
a)
The right to be informed about my collection and
use of your personal data. This Privacy Policy should tell you everything you
need to know, but you can always contact me to find out more or to ask any
questions using the details in Part 15.
b)
The right to access the personal data I hold
about you. Part 13 will tell you how to do this.
c)
The right to have your personal data rectified
if any of your personal data held by me is inaccurate or incomplete. Please
contact me using the details in Part 15 to find out more.
d)
The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask
me to delete or otherwise dispose of
any of your personal data that I have. Please contact me using the details in
Part 15 to find out more.
e)
The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the
processing of your personal data.
f)
The right to object to me using your personal
data for a particular purpose or purposes.
g)
The right to data portability. This means that,
if you have provided personal data to me directly, I am using it with your
consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using
automated means, you can ask me for a copy of that personal data to re-use with
another service or business in many cases.
h)
Rights relating to automated decision-making and
profiling. I do not use your personal data in this way.
For more information about my use of your personal data or
exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact me using the details
provided in Part 15.
Further information about your rights can also be obtained
from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice
Bureau.
If you have any cause for complaint about My use of your
personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information
Commissioner’s Office.

How Do You Use My Personal Data?
Under the GDPR, I must always have a lawful basis for using
personal data. This may be because the data is necessary for my performance of
a contract with you, because you have consented to my use of your personal
data, or because it is in my legitimate business interests to use it. Your
personal data may be used for the following purposes:

Communicating with you. This may include
responding to comments from you.
·
Supplying you with information by email that you
have opted-in to (you may unsubscribe or opt-out at any time by contacting me

gathering feedback] to enable me to continually improve The Brick Castle and
your user experience.
·
Personalising and tailoring your experience on
my site.
With your permission and/or where
permitted by law, I may also use your personal data for marketing purposes,
which may include contacting you by email with information. You will not be
sent any unlawful marketing or spam. I will always work to fully protect your
rights and comply with my obligations under the GDPR and the Privacy and
Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, and you will always

9.
How and Where Do You Store or Transfer My
Personal Data?
I may store
or transfer some or all of your personal data in countries that are not part of
the European Economic Area (the “EEA” consists of all EU member states, plus
Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein). These are known as “third countries” and
may not have data protection laws that are as strong as those in the UK and/or
the EEA. This means that I will take additional steps in order to ensure that
your personal data is treated just as safely and securely as it would be within
the UK and under the GDPR as follows.
10.
Do You Share My Personal Data?
I will
not share any of your personal data with any third parties for any purposes,
subject to one important exception.
In some limited
circumstances, I may be legally required to share certain personal data, which
might include yours, if I am involved in legal proceedings or complying with
legal obligations, a court order, or the instructions of a government
authority.
11.
How Can I Control My Personal Data?
11.1
In addition to your rights under the GDPR, set out
in Part 5, when you submit personal
data via The Brick Castle, you may be given options to restrict my use of your personal
data. In particular, I aim to give you strong controls on my use of your data
for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving
emails from me which you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in My
emails.
11.2
You may also wish to sign up to one or more of
the preference services operating in the UK: The Telephone Preference Service
(“the TPS”), the Corporate Telephone Preference Service (“the CTPS”), and the
Mailing Preference Service (“the MPS”). These may help to prevent you receiving
unsolicited marketing. Please note, however, that these services will not
prevent you from receiving marketing communications that you have consented to
receiving.
12.
Can I Withhold Information?
You may access The
Brick Castle without providing any personal data at all. You may restrict my
use of Cookies. For more information, see Part 14.
13.
How Can I
Access My Personal Data?
If you want to know what personal data I have about you, you
can ask me for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any
such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent
to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 15.
There is not normally any charge for a subject access request.
If your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you
make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover my administrative costs
in responding.
I will respond to your subject access request within one month
and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, I aim to
provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that
time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex,
more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date I
receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of my progress.
