YOUR RIGHTS

You have various rights in relation to the data which we hold about you as described below. You can find out more about your rights by contacting the data protection authority in your jurisdiction (where applicable).  Some of the rights described below are not legal rights in all jurisdictions, and we may not be legally required to comply with requests that you make in respect of these.  We will comply with requests where we are required by law to do so, and where reasonable and practicable, we will also endeavour to meet other requests you make in respect of these rights.  If we are unable to do so, then we will communicate this to you. 

To get in touch with us about any of your rights under applicable data protection laws, please use the contact details set out in Schedule 1. We will seek to deal with your request without undue delay, and in any event within any time limits provided for in applicable data protection law (subject to any extensions to which we are lawfully entitled). Please note that we may keep a record of your communications to help us resolve any issues which you raise. 

Right to object 

This right enables you to object to us processing your personal data where we do so for one of the following reasons:  

• because it is in our legitimate interests to do so (for further information please see the section on the grounds for processing below); 

• to enable us to perform a task in the public interest or exercise official authority;  

• to send you direct marketing materials; or 

• for scientific, historical, research, or statistical purposes.

Right to withdraw consent  

If we obtain your consent to process your personal data for any activities, you may withdraw this consent at any time and we will cease to use your data for that purpose unless we consider that there is an alternative legal basis to justify our continued processing of your data for this purpose, in which case we will inform you of this condition.  You can withdraw your consent by updating your preferences in your account or by contacting our customer services department. 

Right to access a copy of your data 

You may ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you at any time, and request us to modify, update or delete such information. If we provide you with access to the information we hold about you, we will not charge you for this unless permitted by law. If you request further copies of this information from us, we may charge you a reasonable administrative cost. Where we are legally permitted to do so, we may refuse your request. If we refuse your request we will always tell you the reasons for doing so.

You have the right to request that we “erase” your personal data in certain circumstances. Normally, this right exists where: 

• The data are no longer necessary;  

• You have withdrawn your consent to us using your data, and there is no other valid reason for us to continue;

• It is necessary for the data to be erased in order for us to comply with our obligations under law; or

If we have shared your personal data with third parties, we will notify them about the restricted processing unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. We will, of course, notify you before lifting any restriction on processing your personal data. 

Right to rectification  

You have the right to request that we rectify any inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold about you. If we have shared this personal data with third parties, we will notify them about the rectification unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You may also request details of the third parties that we have disclosed the inaccurate or incomplete personal data to. Where we think that it is reasonable for us not to comply with your request, we will explain our reasons for this decision. 

Right of data portability  

If you wish, you have the right to transfer your personal data between service providers. In effect, this means that you are able to transfer the details we hold on you to another third party. To allow you to do so, we will provide you with your data in a commonly used machine-readable format so that you can transfer the data. Alternatively, we may directly transfer the data for you. 

Right to complain 

You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority (where applicable).
