• the right to object to processing
• the right to data portability
• the right to complain to supervisory authority

RIGHT TO ACCESS

You have the right:

• to confirmation about whether we process your personal data or not
• if we do process your personal data, to have access to your data, and certain other information, including the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of your personal data,
• providing you supply us with two forms of authenticated identification, and the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, we will supply you a copy of your personal data.

The first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be subject to a reasonable fee.

RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION

You have the right:

• to have any inaccurate personal data about you rectified
• taking into account the purposes of processing, to have any incomplete personal data about you completed.

RIGHT TO DATA ERASURE

In some circumstances, you have the right:

• to the erasure of your personal data without undue delay.

Those circumstances include:

• you withdraw consent to consent-based processing
• you object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection law
• the processing is for direct marketing purposes

However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure. The general exclusions include where processing is necessary:

• for compliance with a legal obligation
• for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

RIGHT TO RESTRICT DATA PROCESSING

In some circumstances, you have the right:

• to restrict the processing of your personal data.

Those circumstances include:

• personal data records are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or processed
• processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure
• we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and,

Where processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your personal data. However, we will only otherwise process it:

• with your consent

RIGHT TO OBJECT TO DATA PROCESSING

You have the right to object to us processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you make such an objection, we will stop processing your personal data for this purpose.

RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is:

• consent; or
• processing is necessary for the delivery of, or entry into, a contract to which you are party and is carried out by automated means,
• you have the right to receive your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

However, this right does not apply where it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

RIGHT TO COMPLAIN TO A SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

You have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection if you consider that our processing of your personal information infringes data protection laws. In the UK, this is usually the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office).

You can do so in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT

Where consent is the legal basis for our processing of your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
