This document 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 ARU in responding with such a request.
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.
As stipulated in UK data protection law, individuals have a right to have personal data erased and to prevent processing in specific circumstances:
The ARU online system “Startup” stores data about individuals in order to provide a user-to-user business partner finder service. We store the personal details for each individual, which is stored on our secure servers in the UK for a period of six months, renewable, based on user engagement/permission. This data is stored and used in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
If consent is provided, personal data may be stored in our CRM system for the purposes of contacting you regarding ARU news, products and promotions.
ARU acts as data controller. In this case, we will delete the user’s personal data upon request (via email to [email protected]), upon closure of your account, or after three years.
Data which has been deleted or otherwise destroyed can not be recovered at any time.
Data may still remain in the system's back-up files, which will be deleted periodically.
Information may be deleted from our CRM upon request to [email protected]. We undertake to perform the deletion within one month (30 calendar days) and will send you a confirmation once the information has been deleted. Wherever possible, we will aim to complete the request in advance of the deadline.
