You may make a subject access request (SAR) at any time to find out more about the personal data which we hold about you. We will usually respond to SARs within one month of receipt (this can be extended by up to two months in the case of complex and/or numerous requests, and in such cases the data subject shall be informed of the need for the extension).

All subject access requests received must be forwarded to our Compliance Manager at the address given above or by emailing info@cpcdrivertraining.com

We do not charge a fee for the handling of normal SARs. We do however reserve the right to charge reasonable fees for additional copies of information that has already been supplied to you, and for requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly where such requests are repetitive.

Right to rectify inaccurate or incorrect information

If the information which we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you may contact us using the details above stating which part(s) are incorrect and the relevant amendments. We will contact you to notify when the data has been rectified which we aim to complete within one month.

Right to have your data erased

You may contact us using the details above if you wish for your details to be deleted from our records. Please note that these requests are subject to our need to hold data for legal reasons. Where we believe we are unable to delete your details for these reasons, we will provide our decision and the rationale behind this within one month.

Right to withdraw your consent

Where you have consented to our processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Please inform us immediately if you wish to withdraw your consent.

Please note: the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of earlier processing if you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to continue to provide services to you even if you withdraw your consent, it may remain lawful for us to process your data on another legal basis (e.g. because we have a legal obligation to continue to process your data).
