SRIN Continued Privacy Notice

General information for individuals that the Scottish Research Integrity Network (“SRIN”) collects, shares or processes personal information about. This summarises SRIN's approach to data protection and your rights.

Data sharing

In addition to the primary purposes, we are also legally obliged to share certain data with other public bodies and will do so where the law requires this; we will also generally comply with requests for specific information from other regulatory and law enforcement bodies where this is necessary and proportionate. 

Transfers outside the European Economic Area

SRIN will only transfer data to countries outside the EEA when satisfied that both the party which handles the data and the country it is processing it in provide adequate safeguards for personal privacy.

Your rights

You have the right to request access to, copies of and rectification or (in some cases) erasure of personal data held by SRIN and can request that we restrict processing or object to processing. You also (in some cases) have the right to data portability (i.e. the right to ask us to put your data into a format that enables it to be transferred easily to a different organisation). If you wish to make use of one of these rights, please email us.

If we have asked for your consent in order to process your personal data you can withdraw this consent in whole or part at any time. To withdraw consent, please email us, and we will explain the consequences of doing so in any particular case and initiate proceedings for withdrawing consent. 

Complaints

If you are unhappy with the way we have processed your personal data you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), but we ask that you raise the issue with us first.
