Your rights regarding personal information

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation and other applicable data protection laws provide certain rights for data subjects.

You are entitled to request details of the information we hold about you and how we process it. You may also have a right in accordance with applicable data protection law to have it rectified or deleted, to restrict our processing of that information, and to stop unauthorised transfers of your personal information to a third party.

If you object to the processing of your personal information, or if you have provided your consent to processing and you later choose to withdraw it, we will respect that choice in accordance with our legal obligations.

Your objection (or withdrawal of any previously give consent) could mean that we are unable to perform the actions necessary to achieve the purposes set out above (see ‘How we use your personal information’) or that you may not be able to make use of the services offered by us. Please note that even after you have chosen to withdraw your consent we may be able to continue to process your personal information to the extent required or otherwise permitted by law, in particular in connection with exercising ad defending our legal rights or meeting our legal obligations.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the local data protection authority if you believe that we have not complied with applicable data protection laws.

We must ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. Therefore, please advise us of any changes to your information by emailing us as soon as possible.
