YOUR RIGHTS

ACCESS TO AND UPDATING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You have the right to access personal data which we hold about you ("data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and check that we are processing it lawfully. Note that we may refuse to comply with a data subject access request if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or repetitive in nature.

You also have the right to receive your personal data in a structured and commonly used format so that it can be transferred to another data controller ("data portability"). Note that this right only applies where we process your personal information with your consent or for the performance of a contract and when processing is carried out by automated means.

We want to make sure that your personal data is accurate and up to date. You may ask us to correct or remove personal information you think is inaccurate. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us. We may refuse to comply with a request for rectification if the request is manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.

RIGHT TO OBJECT

DIRECT MARKETING

You have the right to object at any time to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

‍Where we process your personal data based on our legitimate interests

You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data, which is based on our legitimate interests. Where you object on this ground, we shall no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that overrides your interests, rights and freedoms, or the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

YOUR OTHER RIGHTS

You also have the following rights under data protection laws to request that we rectify your inaccurate or incomplete data.

In certain circumstances, you have the right to:

Request the erasure of your personal data erasure ("right to be forgotten");
Restrict the processing of your personal data to processing in certain circumstances.

Please note that the above rights are not absolute, and we may be entitled to refuse requests, wholly or partly, where exceptions under the applicable law apply. We may refuse an erasure request, for example, where the processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or necessary for establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims. We may refuse to comply with a request for restriction if the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or repetitive in nature.

EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS

You can exercise any of your rights as described in this policy and under data protection laws by contacting us as provided in "Contacting us" above.

Save as described in this policy or provided under data protection laws, there is no charge for exercising your legal rights. However, if your requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular, because of their repetitive character, we may either: (a) charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or taking action requested; or (b) refuse to act on the request.

Where we have reasonable doubts concerning the person's identity making the request, we may request additional information necessary to confirm your identity.
