The information we access and the actions we take will depend on the scope of the authority you have provided.

A Letter of Authority does not automatically give Orbital unlimited authority over your utility accounts.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by UK data protection law.

No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, but we take proportionate measures to protect the information entrusted to us.

11. How Long We Keep Your Information

We do not keep personal information for longer than is reasonably necessary.

How long information is retained depends on:

In certain circumstances, you may ask us to transfer information you provided to us to another organisation or provide it to you in a portable format.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

Not every right applies in every circumstance.

If you wish to exercise a data protection right, please contact:

Admin@OrbitalGP.co.uk

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
