Your data matters
We want to help you to understand your rights and exercise them as easily as possible.

Bear in mind
Depending on the request, we might need two forms of identification to check that you are who you say you are..

These include:
Deleting your account won’t delete any data you’ve shared with the Mums Say Radio for reasons that aren’t connected with your Mums Say Radio account

• Passport
• Driving license
• Birth certificate
• Utility bill, bank statement or rent book from the last three months
• Current vehicle registration document

There might be some occasions where we can’t fulfill a request. For example:

• If it might impact on the rights of another person or company
• If you haven’t given us all the information we need, including proof of ID
• The law tells us we can’t or it forms part of our journalistic output
• And sometimes if we feel your request is excessive

If we can’t help you, we’ll get back to you and explain the reasons why. We’ll aim to get back to you within one month. For more complicated requests, or for a large amount of requests, we might take longer, but we’ll tell you if there’s a delay and the reasons why.

Losing a loved one

Page updated: October 2021

We’re sorry for your loss. When you’ve lost someone, speaking to providers regarding accounts will be the last thing on your mind. We’re here to help at this difficult time.

Get in touch
When you’re ready, you can email us at admin@mumssayradio.com or you can write to us at:

The Data Protection Offices, Mums Say Radio Media House, 262 Ringwood Road, Poole, BH14 0RS

What to expect
When you do contact us we’ll ask you for details about the person that’s died such as their email address so that we can locate their Mums Say Radio Account and your relationship to them. If you have any questions, you may want to make a list and we’ll do our best to answer them all.

We’ll also need to speak to a relative, the executor or next of kin. If that’s you, then you’ll need to provide us with the following:

• The death certificate
• Proof of your identity
• Proof of relationship (for example, marriage/civil partnership or birth certificate, child’s birth certificate naming both parents – if you don’t have these let us know and we’ll let you know other forms of identification we accept)

You can use your passport or photo driving license as proof of identification. If you don’t have one of these, let us know and we will then let you know the other types of ID we accept.
