Your rights

  • You have the right to ask us to confirm what information we hold about you at any time, and you may ask us to modify, update or remove your information, as long as we are not legally required to hold it or we hold it to meet a legitimate expectation or for you or us to meet a legal obligation.
  • If we are using your data because we deem it necessary to do so, and you do not agree, you have the right to ask to remove your information, or ask us to stop processing your information. If you would like to do so, you can contact us at [email protected]. In cases where you ask us not to contact you, we may still hold your information so that we know not to use it. If you request us to remove your information, we will only refuse your request if we are of the view that it is necessary to keep your information and we are legally permitted to do so, or we have the legal right to process the information for another specific reason. For example, if you have an ongoing relationship with us, or we have a legal reason to keep it.
  • Where we have obtained your consent to process your personal data for certain activities, you may withdraw your consent at any time. You can do so by contacting us at [email protected].
  • You may also have the right to instruct us to transfer the data we hold about you. We will help with this - either by directly transferring your data for you, or by providing you with a copy in a commonly used machine-readable format. To do this just contact us by phone, in writing, or by using the email address above.
  • Your rights regarding our use of your information are not absolute. If we decide not to act on a request that we receive from you, we will inform you of our legal reason(s) for not acting on your request.
