Your rights
You can exercise your rights for FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot and the personal information submitted directly through this site. Where you are signposted to a Partner, you should exercise your rights directly with that Partner.
Access to your information
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information about you that FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot holds in relation to FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot interactions.
Correcting your information
The Partners want to make sure that your personal information is accurate, complete and up to date. You may ask FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot to correct any personal information about you that you believe does not meet these standards. If you want to do this, email enquiries@findbusinesssupport.gov.scot.
Deletion of your information
You have the right to ask FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot to delete personal information about you where:
- you consider that FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot no longer requires the information for the purposes for which it was obtained
- you have validly objected to FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot's use of your personal information (see 'Objecting to how we may use your information', below)
- FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot’s use of your personal information is contrary to law or FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot’s other legal obligations
Objecting to how we may use your information
You have the right at any time to require FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot to stop using your personal information. In addition, where FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot uses your personal information to perform tasks carried out in the public interest or in exercising official authority vested in it, then, if you ask it to, FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot will stop using that personal information unless there are overriding legitimate grounds to continue.
Restricting how we may use your information
In some cases, you may ask us to restrict how we use your personal information. This right might apply, for example, where we are checking the accuracy of personal information about you that we hold or assessing the validity of any objection you have made to FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot to use your information.
The right might also apply if FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot no longer has a basis for using your personal information, but you don't want FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot to delete the data. Where this right is validly exercised, FindBusinessSupport.gov.scot may only use the relevant personal information with your consent, for legal claims or where there are other public interest grounds to do so.
