Complaints or queries

CPR tries to meet the highest standards when collecting and using personal information. For this reason, we take any complaints we receive about this very seriously. We encourage people to bring it to our attention if they think that our collection or use of information is unfair, misleading or inappropriate.  We would also welcome any suggestions for improving our procedures.

However, we are happy to provide any additional information or explanation needed.  Any requests for this should be sent to the address below.

If you want to make a complaint about the way we have processed your personal information, you can contact the ICO who oversee data protection laws:  www.ico.org.uk/concerns

CPR tries to be as open as it can be in terms of giving people access to their personal information. Individuals can find out if we hold any personal information by making a ‘subject access request’. If we do hold information about you we will:

  • tell you who it could be disclosed to
  • let you have a copy of the information in an intelligible form

If you agree, we will try to deal with your request informally, for example by providing you with specific information you need over the telephone.

If we do hold information about you, you can ask us to correct any mistakes by, once again, contacting CPR, providing proof of ID.

Disclosure of personal information

In many circumstances we will not disclose personal data without consent. However, when we investigate a complaint, for example, we will need to share personal information with the organisation concerned and with other relevant bodies e.g. circumstances where we pass on personal data without consent to prevent and detect crime.
