Last Updated: August 13, 2026

Our Commitment to Data Protection

dperitailes is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. This page explains how we comply with these regulations and what rights you have regarding your personal information.

Address: 42 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4HZ, United Kingdom

Lawful Basis for Processing

We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis under GDPR Article 6:

  • Contract performance: Processing necessary to provide consultation services you have requested
  • Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with legal or regulatory requirements
  • Legitimate interests: Processing necessary for business administration and service improvement, balanced against your rights
  • Consent: Where you have provided explicit consent for specific processing activities

Your GDPR Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights:

Right to Access

You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data. We will provide this information within one month of receiving a valid request.

Right to Rectification

You can request correction of inaccurate personal data or completion of incomplete data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You can request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or if you withdraw consent where that was the basis for processing.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can request that we limit how we use your personal data in specific situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing.

Right to Data Portability

Where processing is based on consent or contract performance and is carried out by automated means, you can request to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Right to Object

You can object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significant impacts. We do not engage in automated decision making of this nature.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected] with sufficient information to verify your identity. We may request additional information to confirm your identity before responding to requests.

We will respond to valid requests within one month, though this may be extended by two additional months for complex requests. If we deny your request, we will explain the reasons and inform you of your right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Data Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest
  • Regular security assessments and updates
  • Access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel
  • Staff training on data protection principles
  • Incident response procedures for data breaches

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If the breach poses a high risk, we will also notify affected individuals without undue delay.

International Data Transfers

We process personal data primarily within the United Kingdom. If we transfer data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with GDPR requirements, such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK supervisory authority for data protection:

Information Commissioner's Office
Wycliffe House, Water Lane
Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF
Website: ico.org.uk

Data Protection Impact Assessments

We conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments for processing activities that are likely to result in high risk to individuals' rights and freedoms, ensuring that risks are identified and mitigated appropriately.

Updates to This Information

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