Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable living person. When “you” or “your” are used in this statement, we are referring to the relevant individual who is the subject of the personal data.

Consequently if we are processing personal data supplied to us by a client and a data subject raises a query with us, we will refer that query to our client rather than deal with it ourselves.

​

Should there be circumstances where we are not acting as a data processor for our clients, Leaman Crellin Limited would be the controller and responsible for any personal data.
