by sending an email to info@4exmilitary.com asking that we stop sending you marketing communications or by including the words “UNSUBSCRIBE” or “OPT OUT” in the subject line of the message.

to withdraw your consent to our use of your information at any time where we rely on your consent to use or process that information. ( Right to Withdraw Consent)

Subject Access Requests ( SAR’s ) and Verifying your Identity where you Request Access to your Information

Checking of identity

Where you request access to your information, we are required by law to use all reasonable measures to verify your identity before doing so.

We will first check that we have enough information to be sure of your identity. Often we will have no reason to doubt a person’s identity, for example, if we have regularly been in contact with them. However, if we have good cause to doubt your identity we can ask you to provide any evidence we reasonably need to confirm your identity. For example, we may ask you for a piece of information held in your records that we would expect you to know: a witnessed copy of your signature or proof of your address.

If the person requesting the information is a relative/representative of the individual themselves they must supply the individual’s consent for the release of their personal data.

If you have been appointed to act for someone under the Mental Capacity Act 2005, you must confirm your capacity to act their behalf and explain how you are entitled to access their information.

Should you make a data subject access request but you are not the data subject, you must stipulate the basis that you consider makes you entitled to the information.

The above measures are designed to protect your information and to reduce the risk of identity fraud, identity theft or general unauthorised access to your information.

Will we Charge a Fee?

No, under data protection law we have no general right to charge you a fee for making a Subject Access Request ( SAR). However, we may charge a “ reasonable fee” based on the actual administrative cost of providing the information when a SAR is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive.

We have a full and separate policy and procedure relating to the way we will handle a Subject Access Request(SAR). Copies are available on request.

10. Changes to our Privacy Policy

Any changes we may make to our Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on this page and if substantial, may be promoted via our website or through e-mail notification.

When we update our Privacy Policy the new version will be given a new effective date which will be stated in Paragraph 1 – General.

Our processing of your information will be governed by the procedures set out in the new version of the Privacy Policy from its effective date onwards.
