Access to Data on our Website. This enables you to receive a copy of Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the Data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove Data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase data to comply with local law.

Object to processing of data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information, which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of Data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of Data in the following scenarios:

  • If you want us to establish the Data’s accuracy.
  • Where our use of the Data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.
  • Where you need us to hold the Data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Request the transfer of the Data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, the Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process Data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide the Services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

You will not have to pay a fee to access Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, if your request is not based on a request or a repeated request without justification or excessive request, we may (instead of those fees) refuse to comply with your request, as the case may be.
