All credit history with your organisation will be kept for a maximum of seven years.

Data obtained which then proceeds to a continuous trading relationship lasting five years or more will be retained indefinitely so as to be able to provide documentary evidence to HMRC in the event of an investigation of your organisation.  

Your rights

Orange Chemicals Ltd is committed to ensure protection of your rights under applicable laws. You will find below a summarisation of your different rights:

Right of access

You can request access to your personal data. You may also request rectification of inaccurate personal data, or to have incomplete personal data completed. Please note that we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Right to be forgotten

Your right to be forgotten entitles you to request the erasure of your personal data in cases where:

• The processing of your data is no longer necessary
• You choose to withdraw your consent
• You object to the processing of your personal data (see below)
• Your personal data has been unlawfully processed
• There is a legal obligation to erase your personal data

Please note that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable at the time of your request.

Right to restriction of processing

You may request that processing of your personal data be restricted and/or suspended in the cases where:

• You contest the accuracy of the personal data;
• We  no longer need the personal data, for the purposes of the processing;
• The use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it
• You need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
• You have objected to processing for legitimate reasons. 

Right to data portability

You can request, where applicable, the transfer of your personal data to you, or to a third party (where technically feasible). This right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Right to object to processing for the purposes of direct marketing

You may exercise your right to object to the processing of your personal data e.g. for the purposes of profiling or marketing communications or if you object to the legitimate interest being relied upon. When we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out before you withdrew your consent. We may not be able to provide certain products of services to you if you withdraw your consent. We will advise you if that is the case at the time you withdraw. If you wish to exercise any of the rights above then please contact johnmillett@orangechem.co.uk. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we can refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. 

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than one month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. If this is the case we will notify you and keep you updated.
