What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) imposes strict controls on how all organisations collect and process personal data within the EU and/or the personal data of EU citizens.

The enforcement of the GDPR is overseen by the UK’s supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). It ensures that everyone is playing by the rules and that the rights of data subjects– the people whose data is being processed – are correctly protected. 

We have outlined the role of Niki Schäfer Interior Design and the role of your personal details provided to us under the new GDPR legislation.

We are an interior design, home styling, design psychology and home decor limited company.  

The data supplied to us is in response to signing up to receive our regular newsletter or requesting a bespoke design consultation from us. 

As far as the data held by Niki Schaäfer Interior Design Ltd is concerned, this includes:

• Keeping data accurate and up to date. 

Providing a copy of an individual’s data
Please email niki@nsid.co.uk to request, we will send you a table of details held on our records. 

Your Rights – Deleting customer/supplier data
If you wish your data to be permanently removed from our records, you have the right to this, please put this in writing to niki@nsid.co.uk.

However, as a Limited company we have a legal obligation to HMRC which comes before an individual’s ‘right to be forgotten’ under GDPR. This means, if you have previously purchased an event’s e-ticket or design consultation we will remove your data from any mailing list and hold your data separately for at least a period of 6 or 7 years to satisfy HMRC’s requirement.

Once this time period has elapsed the details can then be deleted from all records.

We’ve updated our Privacy Policy which can be accessed here. 

Your rights
Under the GDPR you have certain rights which are outlined in our updated Privacy Policy.

If you have any questions please feel free to email niki@nsid.co.uk.
