UK Privacy Policy (UK GDPR Addendum)
Introduction
DolRise is committed to protecting user privacy worldwide. This UK Privacy Policy Addendum explains how DolRise complies with the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 for individuals located in the United Kingdom.
This Addendum applies only to users who are subject to UK data protection law and should be read together with DolRise’s Global Privacy Policy. Where this Addendum provides additional or specific information required by UK law, it supplements the Global Privacy Policy rather than replacing it.
UK data protection law is designed to ensure that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently. DolRise aligns with these principles by minimising data collection, limiting data retention, and designing systems that respect user autonomy and control.
Under the UK GDPR, individuals have enhanced rights regarding how their personal data is collected, used, and protected. DolRise recognises these rights and has implemented measures intended to support transparency, accountability, and user choice.
DolRise’s approach to privacy prioritises data minimisation by default. Features are designed, where possible, to operate without requiring long-term storage of personal information. Algorithmic systems are subject to time-based limits and are not intended to create permanent user profiles.
This Addendum outlines how DolRise meets its obligations under UK data protection law, explains the rights available to users in the United Kingdom, and describes how users may contact DolRise with questions or concerns regarding personal data.
By providing this Addendum, DolRise seeks to ensure that users in the United Kingdom clearly understand their rights and the safeguards in place to protect their personal data, in accordance with applicable UK law.
Scope & Applicability
This UK Privacy Policy Addendum applies to individuals located in the United Kingdom or otherwise subject to United Kingdom data protection law when using DolRise.
This Addendum is intended to supplement DolRise’s Global Privacy Policy and provides additional information required under the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Where this Addendum addresses matters that are specific to UK data protection law, it takes precedence over the Global Privacy Policy solely for users within the scope of UK law. In all other respects, the Global Privacy Policy continues to apply.
This Addendum does not expand the categories of personal data collected or alter the purposes for which data is processed, as described in the Global Privacy Policy. Its purpose is to clarify how UK data protection requirements apply to DolRise’s existing practices.
DolRise provides its services on a non-discriminatory basis and does not vary core functionality based on geographic location. However, certain legal rights and obligations may differ by jurisdiction, and this Addendum ensures compliance with applicable UK law.
This Addendum does not apply to individuals outside the United Kingdom unless UK data protection law applies to them by virtue of their location, activities, or other legal factors.
Lawful Bases for Processing
Under the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, DolRise processes personal data only where a lawful basis applies. This section explains the legal grounds on which DolRise relies when processing personal data of users located in the United Kingdom.
In certain circumstances, DolRise may rely on user consent as a lawful basis for processing. Where consent is required, it is obtained in a clear and transparent manner, and users may withdraw their consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
DolRise may also process personal data where such processing is necessary for the purposes of DolRise’s legitimate interests. These interests may include operating and securing the platform, maintaining service reliability, preventing misuse, and improving the overall user experience. When relying on legitimate interests, DolRise considers the balance between those interests and the rights and freedoms of users.
In some cases, processing may be necessary to comply with a legal obligation under applicable law. This may include responding to lawful requests, meeting regulatory requirements, or fulfilling obligations imposed by UK law.
DolRise does not rely on the processing of special category personal data under the UK GDPR, nor does it use automated decision-making processes that produce legal or similarly significant effects on users. Algorithmic systems are used solely to organise and present content and are subject to time-based limits and user controls.
Regardless of the lawful basis applied, DolRise adheres to the principles of data minimisation and purpose limitation. Personal data is processed only to the extent necessary for the identified purpose and is not retained beyond what is required.
Your Rights under the UK GDPR
The United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 provide individuals located in the United Kingdom with specific rights regarding their personal data. DolRise respects these rights and is committed to enabling users to exercise them in a transparent and practical manner.
Users have the right to be informed about how their personal data is collected, used, and protected. DolRise provides this information through its privacy policies and related notices.
Users also have the right to request access to their personal data. This includes the right to confirm whether DolRise is processing personal data and, where applicable, to receive a copy of that data.
Where personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, users have the right to request rectification so that such data can be corrected or updated.
In certain circumstances, users may request the erasure of their personal data, for example where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or where consent has been withdrawn, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Users may also have the right to restrict the processing of their personal data in specific situations, such as while a request relating to accuracy or lawfulness is being assessed.
Where applicable, users have the right to data portability, allowing them to receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
Users have the right to object to certain types of processing, particularly where processing is based on legitimate interests, unless DolRise demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds.
DolRise does not carry out automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on users. Algorithmic systems are used only to organise and present content and remain subject to user controls and time-based limits.
Requests to exercise these rights may be submitted using the contact details provided in this UK Privacy Policy. DolRise will respond in accordance with applicable legal timeframes.
International Data Transfers
The United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) requires that personal data transferred outside the United Kingdom continues to receive an adequate level of protection. This section explains how DolRise approaches international data transfers where such transfers are necessary.
DolRise seeks to minimise international transfers of personal data and does not transfer data outside the United Kingdom unless such a transfer is required for the operation, security, or legal compliance of the service.
Where personal data is transferred to a country or territory that has been recognised by the UK Government as providing an adequate level of data protection, such transfers are carried out in accordance with applicable UK adequacy regulations.
In cases where an adequacy regulation does not apply, DolRise implements appropriate safeguards, which may include standard contractual clauses or equivalent legal mechanisms recognised under UK data protection law, together with technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data.
DolRise does not transfer personal data for purely commercial or advertising purposes. Any international transfer is limited to what is necessary for the stated purpose and is subject to ongoing review to ensure continued compliance with UK law.
Regardless of where personal data is processed, DolRise remains committed to protecting user privacy and ensuring that personal data continues to be handled in a manner consistent with this UK Privacy Policy Addendum.
Data Retention
Under the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, personal data must be retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. This section explains DolRise’s approach to data retention for users located in the United Kingdom.
DolRise applies the principle of limited retention. Personal data is not stored indefinitely and is retained only for the duration required to support the operation of the service, ensure security and integrity, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes and enquiries.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and the purpose for which it is processed. Where retention is no longer necessary, DolRise takes steps to delete personal data or to anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with an identifiable individual.
DolRise does not maintain long-term behavioural histories or permanent personal profiles for users. Algorithmic systems operating within the platform are subject to time-based limits and are designed to respond to current context rather than to create lasting records of user behaviour.
DolRise regularly reviews its data retention practices to ensure ongoing compliance with UK data protection law and to minimise the risks associated with unnecessary data storage. This approach supports both user privacy and system security.
Users located in the United Kingdom may request further information about applicable retention periods by contacting DolRise using the details provided in this UK Privacy Policy.
Supervisory Authority & Complaints
Under the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, individuals located in the United Kingdom have the right to raise concerns about the processing of their personal data.
DolRise encourages users to contact us directly in the first instance if they have any questions, concerns, or complaints regarding how their personal data is handled. We take such enquiries seriously and aim to address them promptly and transparently.
If a user is not satisfied with DolRise’s response, or believes that their personal data has been processed in a manner that does not comply with UK data protection law, they have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
The Information Commissioner’s Office is the independent supervisory authority responsible for overseeing data protection compliance in the United Kingdom. Users may contact the ICO without prejudice and without affecting any other legal rights or remedies they may have.
DolRise views regulatory oversight as an important element of accountability and transparency and cooperates with the ICO where required by law.
