Protecting Your Personal Information
At Apollo Associates, we are committed to protecting the privacy, security, and integrity of the personal information entrusted to us. We recognise the importance of handling personal data responsibly and have implemented appropriate technical, organisational, and administrative measures to safeguard it against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.
Our security practices include secure internal systems, restricted access controls, encryption where appropriate, regular system monitoring, and ongoing reviews of our data protection procedures to ensure they remain effective and compliant with current legislation.
While we take every reasonable precaution to protect the information we hold, no method of transmitting data over the internet or storing information electronically can ever be completely secure. Although we continually work to minimise these risks, any information transmitted to us is done at your own risk.
Your Rights
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have a number of rights regarding the personal information we hold about you.
Right of Access
You have the right to request confirmation of whether Apollo Associates processes your personal information.
Where we do, you may request:
- A copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Details of how and why your information is processed.
- The categories of personal data we hold.
- Information about any organisations with whom your information has been shared, where applicable.
- The period for which we intend to retain your information.
Where appropriate, this information can be provided electronically.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request that we correct or update any personal information that you believe is inaccurate, incomplete, or no longer current.
Apollo Associates is committed to maintaining accurate and up-to-date records and will make corrections promptly where appropriate.
Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)
In certain circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal information.
We will carefully assess every request in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Where there is no overriding legal reason for us to retain your information, we will securely erase it without unnecessary delay.
Please note that certain information may need to be retained to comply with legal, contractual, or regulatory obligations.
Right to Restrict Processing
You may request that we temporarily restrict the processing of your personal information in circumstances such as:
- Where you dispute its accuracy.
- Where you have objected to our processing.
- Where the processing is unlawful but you do not wish the information to be erased.
During any period of restriction, we will securely store your information and only process it where legally permitted.
Right to Data Portability
Where applicable, you have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and request that it be transferred directly to another organisation where technically feasible.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis or where your information is used for direct marketing purposes.

Withdrawing Your Consent
Where our processing of your personal information relies on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn.
Marketing Communications
Apollo Associates will only send marketing communications where you have provided your consent or where we are otherwise permitted to do so under applicable legislation.
