Your seven UK GDPR rights

Click into Settings or email us — most rights are exercisable in seconds.

Right of access

Get a copy of all the personal data we hold about you, in JSON format.

How to exercise

Go to Settings → Data → Request export. We'll email it within 30 days.

Right to rectification

Correct inaccurate or incomplete data we hold about you.

How to exercise

Edit your profile and account details directly in Settings. For anything else, contact privacy@gigscenes.co.uk.

Right to erasure

Have your personal data deleted. Sometimes called the 'right to be forgotten'.

How to exercise

Go to Settings → Account → Delete account. Personal data is removed within 30 days. Anonymised analytics may be retained.

Right to restriction

Ask us to pause processing your data while a query is being resolved (e.g. you're disputing accuracy).

How to exercise

Email privacy@gigscenes.co.uk explaining what to restrict and why.

Right to data portability

Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format that you can move to another service.

How to exercise

Same as the access right above — Settings → Data → Request export. JSON output.

Right to object

Object to processing for marketing, profiling, or other specific purposes.

How to exercise

Marketing: untick the newsletter box in Settings (instant). Other processing: email privacy@gigscenes.co.uk.

Rights related to automated decision-making

We don't make decisions about you using automation alone — recommendations are suggestions, never actions.

How to exercise

If you believe an automated decision has been made about your account, contact privacy@gigscenes.co.uk.
