Request for access to your personal data via third party websites

As a Data Controller we are responsible for compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018. Article 32 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires us to have appropriate and organisational measures in place to securely process personal data. We will only work with third party suppliers we have a contract with as defined by Article 28 of the GDPR. Before engaging with a third party supplier we assess the security of their network to ensure compliance with Article 24, 25, 28 and 32.

As we are unable to assess the security of the third party website / portal and we do not have a contract in place with them to ensure compliance with the Data Protection Act / General Data Protection Regulation, we are unable to respond to requests for access to data from third party websites / portals.
