Right to restrict processing
This is your right to request the restriction or suppression of your personal data (instead of erasure or rectification). It means that we can still store your data but no longer use it. There are a few circumstances in which this right can be exercised:
(a) If you are contesting the accuracy of the personal data and in the meantime we are verifying the accuracy of the data
(b) If you believe the personal data has been unlawfully obtained and you oppose your right to erasure
(c) When we no longer need the data but you need it to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim
(d) You have objected to us processing your data and Onefile is considering whether our legitimate grounds override those of your own

It is therefore our policy to automatically restrict the processing whist we are considering the accuracy or the legitimate ground for processing the personal data in question.

Right to data portability
This is your right to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you in a format that will allow to reuse your data for your own purposes across different systems. Whilst we can provide the data to you in a common format such as CSV or XML, we cannot guarantee that the service you decide to reuse your information in will accept the automatic importing of your data.

This right applies to Keychain and CPD, and the marketing subscription service.

Right to object
This is your right to object to us processing your information. It may relate to any direct marketing you may be receiving from us or if you object to our legitimate interests. Please contact our Data Protection Officer.

Rights related to automated decision making including profiling
Please note if you are using the CPD service then we reserve the right to place advertising content on your web pages that we think is appropriate to you, but this is based on the learning outcomes you have selected which is not classified as personal data. If you have any queries about your rights, then please contact our Data Protection Officer.
