Your Rights
You are entitled to a series of rights where we process your personal data and you can exercise these rights at any point; an overview of these rights is below which you can exercise by contacting us.
Access to and correction of your personal data
You have the right to request access to your personal data. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you, to check that we are lawfully processing it, and to request correction of the personal data we hold about you. It may be necessary for us to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Deletion of your personal data
You have right to request that we delete your personal data if:
-
your personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected, or
-
you withdraw consent that you had previously given for us to process your personal data and there is no other legal ground to process your personal data, or
-
you object to us processing your personal data for direct marketing or for our legitimate interests, or
-
your personal data is not being processed lawfully, or
-
your personal data needs to be deleted to comply with the law
If the personal data we collect is no longer needed for any purposes and we are not required by law to retain it, we will do what we can to delete, destroy or permanently de-identify it. Note that we may not always be able to comply with your request of deletion for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you at the time of your request.
Data portability
Your personal data is portable. This means it can be moved, copied or transmitted electronically. However, this right only applies where:
-
the processing is based on your consent
-
the processing takes place for the performance of a contract
-
the processing takes place by automated means
Restriction of processing
You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data if:
-
you believe the personal data we have about you is inaccurate, or
-
the personal data is not being processed lawfully and you would prefer us to restrict processing instead of deleting it, or
-
we no longer need your personal data for the purposes it was collected, but you require the data in order to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or
-
you have objected to the processing of your personal data and are awaiting verification on whether your interests related to that objection outweigh the legitimate grounds for processing your data.
Objecting
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time where we rely on a legitimate interest and there is something particular to your situation where you feel the processing impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal 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.
Raise a complaint with a supervisory body
You have the right to register a complaint directly with a supervisory authority about how we process your personal data.
Withdraw consent
You have the right to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. 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 certain services to you and we will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
