  • YOUR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS

    Under the GDPR you have the following rights:

the right to be informed;

the right of access;

the right to rectification;

the right to erasure;

the right to restrict processing;

the right to data portability;

the right to object; 

and the right not to be subject to automated decision-making including
profiling.

​

  • The right to be informed guarantees that we will notify you at any point at which we will be gathering data from you, (i.e our online submission forms include a notification statement, as well as a check box which allows you to give permission for the data you have provided to be stored and used by us for the purposes of the competition under our legitimate interests. However, as we only gather information vital to the competitor participating in the competition, we unfortunately cannot provide the competitor with the right of individual consent for specific data points, (i.e we need you to give permission for all fields not just for your full Name for example). As our legal basis is legitimate interests, in the case that you do not wish to provide your data, it will unfortunately mean you will not be able to enter the competition, as we will not be able to provide you with the relevant information and we will not be able to identify you for the purposes of judging you within the competition. 

  • The right of access gives you the right to access any data that we hold on you at any time. If you wish to find out what data we currently store on you, don't hesitate to send us an email and we will send back any relevant data we hold.

  • The right of rectification gives you the right to correct any incorrect data we hold on you. I.e if your name is incorrect, simply send us an email with a request to change it and we will update your data.

  • The right to erasure gives you the right to require us to delete any data we hold on you on your request. If you wish us to remove any data we hold on you, send us a request via email and we will delete all data relevant to you.

  • The right to restrict processing allows you the right to restrict what data we collect on you. However, in the case of the Miss British Isles competition, it is deemed that the collected data is a targeted and proportionate way of achieving the purpose of allowing the competitor to compete in the competition. Therefore, we require all data that we request to be processed and unfortunately, as we cannot provide you with the ability to compete in the competition without it, you will not be able to compete without giving permission for the processing of all data requested.

  • The right to data portability gives you the right to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. It allows you to move, copy or transfer personal data easily from one IT environment to another in a safe and secure way, without effecting its usability. This right only applies to information you have provided. Simply email us a request and we have the sufficient capability to transfer your data to your requested location with a secure method.

  • The right to object gives you the right to object to us gathering your data. At the end of all our submission forms we include a check box for this purpose, if you wish to object to the gathering of your data, simply leave the check box unchecked and none of the data you have entered will be stored. It will, however, not allow you to enter yourself into the competition for the reasons discussed above.

  • The right not to be subject to automated decision-making including profiling gives you the right to not be subject to decisions solely made by automated means without any human involvement (automated decision-making), and to not be subject to automated processing of personal data to evaluate certain things about an you (profiling). Miss British Isles Ltd does not undertake either of these practices and so users and competitors will not be subject to either.

  • Finally, if you have any other questions about the use of your data, please don't hesitate to contact us at: info@missbritishisles.com If you feel we are not satisfying our data protection responsibilities, please do not hesitate to contact us or submit a complaint to the ICO so that we can make sure we protect our competitors.
