In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

We may use your identity and contact information to tell you about relevant products or services.

    • ask us to delete the personal information (known as the right to erasure); or

    • request the restriction of processing; or

    • ask us to stop using it if there is no need for us to use it (known as the right to be forgotten).

There may be legal reasons why we need to keep or use your data, which we will tell you if you exercise one of the above rights.

  • Get a copy of the information we hold
    You can ask us for a copy of the personal information which we hold about you, by writing to us at enquiries@saddlerybrandsinternational.com. This is known as a data subject access request.

Occasionally it may take us longer than a month and in that case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

    Please let us know if you are unhappy with how we have used your personal information by contacting us at enquiries@saddlerybrandsinternational.com.
    If you are in the EU, you also have a right to complain to the local data protection regulator in your country of residence (in the UK, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office whose contact details you can find at www.ico.org.uk). We would be grateful for the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the relevant EU regulator so please contact us in the first instance.
