The data protection law, gives any individual a number of rights. This includes you as a SKIP member but also anyone who has contact with SKIP and has their information collected/ stored etc. in any way. The rights available to you/ any individual depend on the reason for processing your information.

These include:

Your right of access
You have the right to ask us for copies of your personal information. This right always applies. There are some exemptions, which means you may not always receive all the information we process.

Your right to rectification
You have the right to ask us to rectify information you think is inaccurate. You also have the right to ask us to complete information you think is incomplete. This right always applies.

Your right to erasure
You have the right to ask us to erase your personal information in certain circumstances.

Your right to restriction of processing
You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your information in certain circumstances.

Your right to object to processing
You have the right to object to processing if we are able to process your information because the process forms part of our public tasks, or is in our legitimate interests.

Your right to data portability
This only applies to information you have given us. You have the right to ask that we transfer the information you gave us from one organisation to another, or give it to you. The right only applies if we are processing information based on your consent or under, or in talks about entering into a contract and the processing is automated.

These rights (taken from the the ICO's privacy policy) aren't relevant to all the data we use in SKIP but it's a good idea to be aware of them. 

The main bits to remember is that anyone can withdraw consent (the right to object to processing, right to erasure and right to rectification). If anyone requests this it must be acted one. Also data access requests, these are to be reported straight to the trustee GDPR lead Sarah Hopkins-Weaver (sarah.hopkinsweaver@skipkids.org.uk)
