How does Newhaven R.E handle a request for access to personal information?

Under the National Privacy Principles you are generally entitled to access the information we hold about you.

Where you are entitled to access, the time we require to give you access will depend on the type of information requested. If we can, we will answer your question immediately. We will also try to answer you in the same way that you ask, for example, if you telephone to ask for the information we will, if practicable, give you that information over the telephone. We will generally respond to a written request in writing.

Sometimes, we will ask that you put your request in writing, for example, where you want copies of material or access to older information or files which are not current or it is necessary for us to retain a record of your request. We may also ask you to identify yourself to our satisfaction. If we are entitled under the National Privacy Principles to refuse to give you access, we will tell you and provide reasons.

What if some of the information Newhaven R.E holds is wrong?

Please tell us. We want our records to be accurate, complete and up to date. Unless we disagree with you about the accuracy or completeness of a record, we will generally correct it on request, (or suggest alternative arrangements for updating our records). If we disagree with you, we will give you our reasons.
