GDPR Compliance
Our commitment to data protection and your rights
Our GDPR Commitment
microminuz is fully committed to compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. We recognise the importance of protecting personal data and respecting the privacy rights of all individuals who interact with our services.
Data Controller
microminuz acts as the data controller for personal information collected through this website and during the provision of our services. We determine the purposes and means of processing personal data and are responsible for ensuring compliance with data protection obligations.
Lawful Processing
We only process personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so. Our processing activities are conducted under one or more of the following bases:
- Your explicit consent for specific processing activities
- Performance of a contract to which you are party
- Compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject
- Protection of vital interests of you or another person
- Our legitimate business interests, where these do not override your fundamental rights
Your Data Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right to Access: You may request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. We will respond to such requests within one month and provide the information free of charge.
Right to Rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. We will make necessary amendments promptly upon verification.
Right to Erasure: Also known as the right to be forgotten, you may request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for continued processing.
Right to Restrict Processing: You may request that we limit the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances, such as when you contest data accuracy.
Right to Data Portability: You may request your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to Object: You may object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of your data protection rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We may request verification of your identity before processing such requests to ensure the security of your personal data.
Data Protection Measures
We implement comprehensive technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including:
- Encryption of data in transit and at rest
- Access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel
- Regular security assessments and updates
- Staff training on data protection obligations
- Incident response procedures for potential data breaches
Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights, we will also notify you directly without undue delay.
Third-Party Processors
Where we engage third-party service providers to process personal data on our behalf, we ensure appropriate contractual arrangements are in place requiring them to implement suitable security measures and process data only in accordance with our instructions.
International Data Transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom, we ensure appropriate safeguards are implemented, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the Information Commissioner's Office.
Complaints
If you are dissatisfied with our handling of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office. However, we encourage you to contact us first so that we may address your concerns directly.
