How we protect your information

We take our responsibilities around the safety and security of your data very seriously and are committed to ensuring this.

As such we take steps to safeguard this, including:

From time to time, your information may be transferred to and stored in a country outside the EEA in relation to provision of the services (i.e. the USA). The laws in these countries may not provide you with the same protection as in the EEA; however, any third party referred to above outside of the EEA has agreed with us to abide by European levels of data protection in respect of the transfer, processing and storage of any personal data.

Requesting a copy of your information

Under the Data Protection Act 2018 you have several rights regarding your personal data, including the right to be informed about the data we hold about you, the right to ask us to rectify that data if it is incorrect, and the right to ask for a copy of that data (called a Subject Access Request).

If you would like to request a copy of the data that we hold about you, please complete our Subject Access Request form and send it to privacy@past-view.com. We will aim to acknowledge your request promptly and in any event will respond to your request within one month.

If you are concerned about our data processing

If you are unhappy with how we have collected or processed your personal data you have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (https://ico.org.uk/) (ICO), which is the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues.

However, if you have such a grievance we would politely request the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO – so please do contact us in the first instance.

Queries and contact

If you have any queries regarding the above or would like update or obtain a copy of your data held by us, our appointed privacy representative is Data Protection Officer who can be contacted via email at privacy@past-view.com.
