Your rights

You have certain rights as a data subject under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which governs the collection, processing and disposal of personal data by organisations such as ours.

In relation to personal data about you, you have the right:

  • to be informed about how and why we collect and use the data
  • to be given access to the data we hold
  • to have any inaccurate or incomplete data rectified
  • to ask us to delete personal data, earlier than we might already dispose of it
  • to prevent us from processing the data further

We provide contact details at the end of this Policy for you to use if you have any complaint about our processing of your personal data. If you are not satisfied with the way we deal with this issue, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), which is the body in charge of supervising personal data use in the UK.

What data do we collect?

If you communicate with us by e-mail or by our contact form on our website, we will collect your name and e-mail address and any other content that you send to us in the body of the mail. We do not collect any other personal data by any other method.

When you visit or use some parts of our websites and/or services we might ask you to provide personal data to us. For example, we ask for your contact information when you fill in a form, sign up for updates, join us on social media, contact us with questions or request support. If you don’t want to provide us with personal data, you don’t have to, but it might mean you can’t use some parts of our websites or services.

How is your data used?

We will process and store your data securely, and we will only keep it for as long as we need it for the purpose(s) for which it was collected.

In relation to the data we do collect, as laid out in the section above, we may use it as follows:

  • to reply to your email
  • to send you marketing emails

You have the right to withdraw your consent to our use of your personal data at any time, and to request that we delete it.

We will not share your personal data with anyone at any time, unless you give us prior consent.

How and where we store your data?

We will only keep your data as long as we need it for the purpose(s) for which it is collected, and/or for as long as we have your permission to hold it.

Your data will only be stored in the UK.

The steps we take to secure your data include:

  • Storing backups on secure UK based servers
  • Limited access to the website backend by a limited number of authorised users who have agreed to abide by the GDPR
  • Security measures that lock out IP addresses that make multiple unsuccessful attempts to login

To provide services to our clients, through both our website, servers, backups and other communications, Summit Design Studio Ltd relies on third parties. Summit Design Studio Ltd requires such providers to conform to these privacy policies and guidelines as stated in statutory law. However, Summit Design Studio Ltd shall not be held responsible for their conduct if they fail to abide by these policies and guidelines.
