6.Your rights as an individual 

Subject access requests

If an individual makes a subject access request, Universal Inclusion, on behalf of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Inclusive Entrepreneurship, will tell him/her:

  • whether or not his/her data is processed and if so why, the categories of personal data concerned and the source of the data if it is not collected from the individual;
  • to whom his/her data is or may be disclosed, including to recipients located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and the safeguards that apply to such transfers;
  • for how long his/her personal data is stored (or how that period is decided);
  • his/her rights to rectification or erasure of data, or to restrict or object to processing;
  • his/her right to complain to the Information Commissioner if he/she thinks Universal Inclusion has failed to comply with his/her data protection rights; and
  • whether or not Universal Inclusion carries out automated decision-making and the logic involved in any such decision-making.

Universal Inclusion will also provide the individual with a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. This will normally be in electronic form if the individual has made a request electronically, unless he/she agrees otherwise. This will be provided within one month of the request being made to meet GDPR requirements.

To make a subject access request, the individual should send the request to APPGIE@universalinclusion.co.uk. In some cases, Universal Inclusion may need to ask for proof of identification before the request can be processed. Universal Inclusion will inform the individual if it needs to verify his/her identity and the documents it requires.

If a subject access request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, Universal Inclusion is not obliged to comply with it. Alternatively, Universal Inclusion can agree to respond but will charge a fee, which will be based on the administrative cost of responding to the request. A subject access request is likely to be manifestly unfounded or excessive where it repeats a request to which Universal Inclusion has already responded. If an individual submits a request that is unfounded or excessive, Universal Inclusion will notify him/her that this is the case and whether or not it will respond to it.

Other rights

Individuals have a number of other rights in relation to their personal data. They can require Universal Inclusion to:

  • rectify inaccurate data;
  • stop processing or erase data that is no longer necessary for the purposes of processing;
  • stop processing or erase data if the individual's interests override Universal Inclusion's legitimate grounds for processing data (where Universal Inclusion relies on its legitimate interests as a reason for processing data);
  • stop processing or erase data if processing is unlawful; and
  • stop processing data for a period if data is inaccurate or if there is a dispute about whether or not the individual's interests override the All Party Parliamentary Group for Inclusive Entrepreneurship's legitimate grounds for processing data.
  • To ask Universal Inclusion to take any of these steps, the individual should send the request to APPGIE@universalinclusion.co.uk
