Your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation
Sepia-mist is committed to complying with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. This page outlines how we handle your personal data in accordance with these regulations and explains your rights as a data subject.
Sepia-mist acts as the data controller for personal information collected through our website and services. This means we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data and are responsible for ensuring compliance with data protection laws.

We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so. The legal bases we rely upon include:
Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right to Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information within one month of receiving your request.
Right to Rectification
If you believe any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. We will rectify any inaccuracies without undue delay.
Right to Erasure
Also known as the "right to be forgotten", you may request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.
Right to Restrict Processing
You may request that we limit how we use your personal data while we address any concerns you have raised about its accuracy or our use of it.
Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on consent or contract performance, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used format and to transfer it to another controller.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. Upon objection, we will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not currently engage in such automated decision-making.
To exercise any of your GDPR rights, please contact us using the details provided above. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will respond to all legitimate requests within one month, though this period may be extended for complex requests.
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk, we will also notify affected individuals without undue delay.
If we transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant authorities, to protect your data in accordance with GDPR requirements.
If you are dissatisfied with how we handle your personal data or believe we have not complied with data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):

We may update this GDPR compliance information periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any significant changes will be communicated through our website.
