What rights you have over your data
You have a number of rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. Subject to the application of any exemptions under data protection law, you have the right to:
Request access to personal data we hold about you (commonly known as a ‘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 that we erase any personal data we hold about you in certain circumstances. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Request correction 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.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying out profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which may override your right to object.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on your consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.
