Privacy & Data Protection Laws

At Human DNA Research, I am fully committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring your personal data is handled securely, transparently, and in compliance with international data protection laws.

This page outlines how I comply with globally recognized privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), and other relevant laws.

GDPR Compliance

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a landmark regulation of the European Union (EU), designed to protect personal data and privacy for all individuals within the EU. GDPR applies to any website or business that processes personal data of EU residents, irrespective of the company’s physical location.

Your Rights Under GDPR

  • Right to Access: Request a complete copy of your personal data stored by this blog.

  • Right to Rectification: Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

  • Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): Request deletion of personal data under legally permissible conditions.

  • Right to Restrict Processing: Limit the processing of your personal data for specific purposes.

  • Right to Data Portability: Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format to transfer it elsewhere.

  • Right to Object: Object to the processing of your data for marketing or other legitimate interests.

  • Right to Withdraw Consent: Revoke any consent provided for processing your personal data at any time.

To exercise any GDPR rights, please contact me.

CCPA Compliance

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides similar rights for California residents, including the right to know what personal information is collected, request deletion, opt out of the sale of personal data, and ensure non-discrimination.

Your Rights Under CCPA

  • Right to Know: Understand which personal data is collected and how it is used.

  • Right to Delete: Request deletion of your personal information.

  • Right to Opt-Out: Refuse the sale of your personal data to third parties.

  • Right to Non-Discrimination: Ensure equal service regardless of exercising your rights.

To exercise any CCPA rights, please contact me.

PECR Compliance

The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) govern privacy in electronic communications within the UK. PECR complements GDPR and establishes rules for cookies, electronic marketing, and other forms of electronic data processing.

Your Rights Under PECR

  • Right to Privacy in Communications: Prevent unauthorized access to your electronic communications, including emails and messages.

  • Right to Marketing Opt-Out: Choose not to receive unsolicited marketing emails, calls, or texts.

  • Right to Control Cookies: Accept or reject cookies on this blog or other online services.

  • Right to Data Security: Ensure that electronic communications and stored data are protected against unauthorized access.

To exercise any PECR rights, please contact me.
