Your rights
You have a right to learn and have access to the personal information held by Cadell. When we receive such a request, we will endeavour to provide you with these details without delay and at the latest within one month of receipt. We may extend the period of compliance by a further two months where requests are complex or numerous. In such instances Cadell will inform you within one month of the receipt of the request and explain why the extension is necessary.
When Cadell receives a subject access request we will provide a copy of the information held free of charge. Cadell may charge a reasonable fee to comply with requests for further copies of the same information. This does not mean that we will charge for all subsequent access requests rather that Cadell reserves the right to charge a fee based on the administrative cost of providing the information.
If, after reviewing a request the Data Protection Officer believes a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly if it is repetitive, then Cadell may charge a ‘reasonable fee’ which will be decided on a case-by-case basis. In certain circumstances Cadell may even refuse to respond to such requests.
