If the EU or UK GDPR applies to our processing of your personal data, APTA is the controller and your contact point for exercising your rights. Our legal bases are legitimate interests (responding to correspondence, website security, aggregate statistics and record-keeping) and contract, or steps before a contract, for service enquiries. You also have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, and the rights to data portability and erasure. You can complain to your local data protection authority.
