Your Rights – The General Data Protection Regulation

Our privacy statement covers Aston Information Security and its website.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, we have a legal duty to protect any personal information we collect from you. We do not pass on your details to any third party or government department unless you give us permission to do so or the law requires/permits it.

Aston Information Security is committed to respecting your privacy. We have structured our website so that, in general, you can visit it without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. Once you choose to provide us with any information by which you can be identified, then you can be assured that it will only be used for the purpose for which it was originally collected or compatible purposes.

Please be advised that any information, unless stated otherwise, will be sent to us via the open internet and is therefore not secure during transmission to us. This is because your information may pass from your contact pc to an internet service provider and then via other providers to Aston Information Security, much in the same way as most e-mail correspondence.

• Prevent processing for the purposes of direct marketing.
• Rights in relation to automated decision taking.
