7. HOW YOU CAN REQUEST YOUR DATA TO BE DELETED

Purpose
This section sets out our policy for responding to requests for deletion of data under UK data protection law. This document explains the rights of the data subject in relation to data deletion and the responsibilities of Ashford Technologies in responding to such a request.

Individual Rights
An individual has the right to erasure, also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’. The principle underpinning this right is to enable an individual to request the deletion or removal of personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.

When does the right to erasure apply?
As stipulated in UK data protection law, individuals have a right to have personal data erased and to prevent processing in specific circumstances:
  • Where the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was originally collected/processed;
  • When the individual withdraws consent;
  • When the individual objects to the processing and there is no other legal ground for the relevant processing activity;
  • When the personal data was unlawfully processed;
  • Where the personal data has to be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation.
How can data be deleted?
If you have subscribed to WorkLocally and wish to delete your account, simply access ‘Site Map’ in the footer under ‘Site Information’, and under ‘Service and Support’ you can click on ‘Delete Account’.

Please note that you must be logged into WorkLocally to delete your account. Once the closure survey has been completed your account will be deactivated from WorkLocally and will be scheduled for permanent deletion within 21 days.

If you log into your account within 21 days of deletion, your account will be reactivated.

Once profile data has been deleted from the WorkLocally system it cannot be recovered by any users or WorkLocally employees after this point.

Data which has been deleted or otherwise destroyed cannot be recovered at any time. Sufficient warning is given to the account administrator before data are permanently deleted. Data may remain in the systems back-up files, which will be deleted periodically.

Information may be deleted from our CRM upon request to admin@worklocally.com.
