Applicable Data Protection Laws

Zero Waste Scotland Limited is committed to complying with all data protection laws that apply to the processing of personal information that we carry out.  

European Economic Area

The EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 ("the GDPR") is a European Union data protection law. In the context of this privacy statement, the GDPR applies to the processing of personal information held on the servers of ZWS. All data will be held within the European Economic Area.

The individuals whose personal information is being processed have the following rights under the GDPR:

Individual Rights under the GDPR

Access to personal information – Individuals have the right to request a copy of the personal information about them that we hold. 

Correcting personal information – Individuals may ask us to correct any personal information about them that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.

Deletion of personal information – Individuals have the right to ask us to delete personal information about them where:

  • They consider that we no longer require the information for the purposes for which it was obtained
  • We are using that information with their consent and that consent has been withdrawn – see Withdrawing consent to using your information below
  • They have validly objected to our use of their personal information – see Objecting to how we may use personal information below
  • Our use of your personal information is contrary to law or our other legal obligations.

Objecting to how we may use personal information – Individuals have the right at any time to require us to stop using their personal information for direct marketing purposes.  In addition, where we use personal information of an individual to perform tasks carried out in the public interest then, if the individual asks us to, we will stop using that personal information unless there are overriding legitimate grounds to continue.

Restricting how we may use personal information – in some cases, individuals may ask us to restrict how we use their personal information.  This right might apply, for example, where we are checking the accuracy of personal information that we hold or assessing the validity of any objection made by an individual to our use of their information.  The right might also apply where there is no longer a basis for using an individual's personal information but they don't want us to delete the data.  Where this right is validly exercised, we may only use the relevant personal information with the individual's consent, for legal claims or where there are other public interest grounds to do so.

Automated processing – if we use personal information on an automated basis to make decisions which significantly affect an individual, that individual has the right to ask that the decision be reviewed by an individual within our organisation to whom representations may be made concerning the decision or to contest it.  This right only applies where we use information with the individual's consent or as part of a contractual relationship with the individual.

Withdrawing consent to using personal information – Where we use personal information with individual consent the individual may withdraw that consent at any time and we will stop using that personal information for the purpose(s) for which consent was given

For queries as to whether the GDPR applies to the processing of your personal information or, if the GDPR does apply, and you wish to exercise any of these rights then please contact us - see Contact information and further advice below.
