Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:
• Request access to your personal data (known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of some or all of the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of the personal data. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data that we hold about you corrected.
• Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. Please note, however, that we may not be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons, if applicable, at the time of your request.
• Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it has an impact on your fundamental rights and freedoms. However, 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 your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; or (b) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
• Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used format. Note that this right only applies to the information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
• Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. Note, if you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you.
