You have the following rights under applicable law, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to your personal data:

 

    • Right of Access. You may request a copy of the personal data that we process about you.

 

    • Right to Rectification. You may ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

    • Right to Object. You have the right to object to your personal data being processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (or those of a third party).

Where we use your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you can always object and opt out of future marketing messages using the unsubscribe link in such communications.

 

    • Right to Data Portability enables you to request us to transmit personal data that you have provided to us, to a third party without hindrance, or to give you a copy of it so that you can transmit it to a third party, where technically feasible.

 

When we process personal data you provide to us based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Where your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests, you may object to such processing by contacting us using the contact details set out below.

We will inform you of any such extension within one month of receipt of your request. We may request proof of identification to verify your request.
