You have a range of rights regarding the information we hold on you, as set out in the General Data Protection Regulations GDPR (EU) 2016/679

You have the right to:

Request access (Art.15 GDPR) to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction (Art. 16 GDPR) of the personal 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 (Art. 17 GDPR) of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal 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 your personal 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 your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR) of your personal 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 on your fundamental rights and freedoms.

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 (Art. 18 GDPR) 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; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) 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; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Complaint to the Data Protection Authority (Art. 77 GDPR). As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or work or our company headquarters.

Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR), to receive your personal data provided to us in a structured, standard and machine-readable format or to request transmission to another controller.

Withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR) where we are relying on consent to process your personal data.
