Rightly is all about the privacy of your data and how to get copies of your data from the myriad of companies that hold such data on you.
They say that
“Our mission is to make data fairer, for everyone.
We believe that what happens to your data should be up to you.
With Rightly, you can make sure that you’re in control of your data, and keep it that way.”
This is necessary, because too many companies seem to believe that your personal information belongs to them to do with as they wish, including:
- Collecting your data without full consent
- Sharing with third parties
- Selling your information to Marketing companies
The law was changed in 2018 to give everyone the legal right to ask to see what information any company has on them.
You can directly contact any company and make this request and they have 30 days to reply.
But Rightly do make this an easier process as you can fill in their Subject Access Request form free of charge.
Their database of contact details covers more than 10,000 companies.
If you don’t get a reply from the company, then Rightly can also help with that.
A useful service although you can do this for yourself if you wish to and remember that your data belongs to you – not them.
If you have any experiences with these scams do let me know, by email.
