The privacy of your personal information is important to us at Laughton Investments

This Statement is therefore designed to provide you with appropriate information, assurance and confidence that we are handling your data in a secure, professional manner, with the respect it deserves. This statement therefore addresses what personal information we collect and how we handle the personal information shared with us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and internal practices.

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), the data controllers are Laughton Investments, with the Data Protection contact being Mrs Kate Gilbertson-Hart.

This statement was most recently reviewed in July 2022. It is subject to regular reviews and may be updated in accordance with changes to legislation or internal policies.

What rights do you have over your Personal Information?

Under GDPR, individuals have by far greater ownership of the way in which they are able to manage their own personal information. There are now eight areas in which you have rights, known as the Data Subject Rights and they are broken down as follows;

Right to Access/Subject Access Requests – The Right to Access provides you with the opportunity to obtain all the information Laughton Investments hold about you as an individual (also known as Subject Access Requests). The GDPR allows Laughton Investments one month to provide you with all the information we hold about you. This will solely be in relation to the person making the request. We will review all our manual and electronic data and provide you with everything accordingly. If your request specifies what documentation you require, this will assist us in responding to your request more quickly.

Right of Rectification – If you believe that the information that Laughton Investments hold about yourself is incorrect, inaccurate or incomplete, the right of rectification ensures that you can contact us and we will update it accordingly. We will provide you with confirmation once the update has taken place.

Right to Erasure – Under GDPR, you have the option for all records of your personal information held by Laughton Investments to be erased. There are however a number of exemptions to this right, given that we may have legal or contractual rights to retain your person information.

Right to Data Portability - GDPR provides you with the opportunity for your personal information to be provided back to you in a portable format. This means that you can transfer your data to a different provider without the need for you to provide it again to them.

Right to Withdraw Consent – Laughton Investments would like to give you the opportunity to manage the way in which we communicate with you. Under GDPR, this is known as the Right to Withdraw Consent. If for any reason, you would no longer wish for us to contact you, either entirely, or via certain methods, this right can be used. This means that Laughton Investments will update your contact preferences within our system.

Right to be Informed – This right encompasses the need for transparency over how we use your data and is the intention for this entire document. It ensures that Laughton Investments supply appropriate notification about our processing activities and ensure that they are concise, transparent, easily accessible, written in clear, plain language and free of charge.

Right to Object – Under GDPR you can object to processing based on legitimate interest or a task classified as being in public interest, direct marketing and processing for purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics.

How we store your information:

We will take all reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse of, or alteration of your personal information. We will store all the personal data you provide on our secure server.
