Right to information and right of access

You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your personal data and, in the event we do so, to access such personal data and receive a copy thereof, as long as this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. This service is usually free of charge, although we have the right to charge a ‘reasonable fee’ in some circumstances.

Right to rectification

You have the right to request that we rectify any inaccuracies in relation to the personal data we hold about you. Have you noticed an error in the information we hold? Please let us know using the contact details below.

Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")

In some circumstances, you have the right to request the erasure of your Personal Data or object to the further processing of your information.

We will comply with your request in the following situations:

  • If your personal data is solely processed based upon your consent.

  • If you object to the processing on grounds relating to your particular situation and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing.

  • If you object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes.

  • If we have processed your personal data unlawfully.

  • If the personal data must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

There are certain exclusions to the right to erasure. Those exclusions include the situation where processing is necessary:

  • for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;

  • for compliance with a legal obligation; or

  • for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data if:

  • You contest the accuracy of the personal data (and only for as long as it takes to verify that accuracy);

  • The processing is unlawful and you request restriction (as opposed to exercising the right to erasure);

  • We no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or

  • You have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection.

Once you have exercised your right to restrict the processing of your personal data, we may still process it:

To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is consent, and such processing 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. You also have the right to have your personal data transferred directly to another company, if this is technically possible, and/or to store your personal data for further personal use on a private device.

Right to withdraw your consent

If the processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent for the future.

Automated decision-making and profiling
