General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

If you are a data subject covered by the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or similar laws in other countries, you may have certain rights in relation to your Personal Information. Such rights may include the right to:

• Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
• Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
• Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information when there is no longer any reason for Belden House & Mews to continuing to process it. You may also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal information to comply with local law.
• Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also may have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
• Request restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal information in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
• Request the transfer of your personal information to you or to a third party. This enables you, or a third party you have chosen, to seek to have your personal information provided in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
• Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

You will not have to pay a fee to exercise any of these rights and will respond to all requests in a timely manner. We may need to contact you about your request to verify your identity, confirm certain information, or clarify the request before it can be fulfilled. If you are a data subject covered by GDPR and would like to exercise these rights or otherwise have questions about your rights please contact .

Certain data protection laws such as GDPR and other similar regulations require that data only be processed if there is a specific legal basis for doing so. We process your data for the following reasons:

• Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you;
• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests; or
• Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
• You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by selecting that option in communication of that type. The Company is the controller and is responsible for your Personal Information.

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception is applicable.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for either us or our service provider(s) to:

8. Comply with a legal obligation; and/or
9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information, which are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or are an authorized representative of said person; and
• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to all requests in a timely manner and in any event within forty-five (45) days, if even said response is to request additional time to fully respond. We do not charge a fee to either process or respond to your verifiable consumer request, unless it is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded.
