Your Data Protection Rights Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to: • Request information about whether we hold personal information about you, and, if so, what that information is and why we are holding/using it. • Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. • Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected. • Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes. • Object to automated decision-making including profiling, that is not to be subject of any automated decision-making by us using your personal information or profiling of you. • Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you. We will, however, need to keep your data for legal purposes. • Request transfer of your personal information in an electronic and structured form to you or to another party (commonly known as a right to “data portability”). This enables you to take your data from us in a machine-readable format and to be able to transfer your data to another party in the same fashion. • Withdraw consent. In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, for instance adhesion to the breast screening programme, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
