You may request that we stop processing your personal information. We may still store the data just not process it.

Where personal data is disclosed to third parties, we will also notify them of the restriction to processing.
You can ask for your personal information in machine readable format or to have it sent to another organisation. This allows you to move, duplicate, or transfer your personal data easily from one IT environment to another in a safe and secure way, without hindrance to usability. The right of data portability only applies to personal data that you have provided to us, for data sets where consent has been given or for the performance of a contract and when processing is carried out by automated means. Data will be provided in an organised, frequently used and machine-readable form and will be provided for free.
You can object to us processing your personal information. You have the right to object to processing unless the reason for use is “legitimate interests”, “the performance of a task in the public interest” or “exercise of official authority, including profiling, for marketing or for scientific / historical research or statistical analysis.” You can object to us processing your data using the following contact details:-
C-Tec N.I. Limited, Unit 6 Ashtree Enterprise Park, Rathfriland Road, Newry, Co. Down, Northern Ireland, BT34 1BY. We will respond to an objection within 30 days.

In this case, as soon as an objection is received the processing of your personal data will cease immediately with no exceptions or arguments. You cannot object to processing of your information for the purposes of research unless there are “grounds relating to his or her particular situation”.
Automated decision making and profiling – Protection against targeted marketing and decision making. Individuals have the right not to be subject to an agreement when it is focussed on automated processing or results in a legal or equally important impact on the individual. You must provide suitable safeguards when processing personal data for the purposes of profiling. There must be a specified reason for the process and a breakdown of the possible consequences to guarantee fair and transparent processing. Suitable statistical / mathematical procedures should be in place. There should also be suitable administrative and technical actions for the purpose of minimising risk and correcting errors. Individuals must be able to acquire human intervention, articulate their opinion and receive an explanation of the arrangement and be able to challenge it. Automated decisions must not involve or implicate a child, or be based on special categories of data processing unless explicit consent of the individual or their guardian has been given or the processing is needed for the purpose of public concern on the basis of EU / member state law. The right does not apply if the decision is needed to enter into a contract between yourself and the individual, is sanctioned by law or is based around explicit consent.
