For instance, the TIG-I customer database is powered by Administrate and securely stored on that company’s servers. Administrate are not allowed to share the data and can be audited by the TIGI on a regular basis to ensure GDPR compliancy.

An individual may request to see all their data held by the TIGI, have that data updated, or have it deleted, as per articles 15, 16, & 17 of the Regulations.

Data will be stored for historical purposes and will not be deleted unless specifically requested by an individual.

Each individual has the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office if they believe their data is not being held or processed according to the articles of the General Data Protection Regulation.
