Your legal rights

You have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

  • Correction. Request correction of any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you. (We may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.) Deletion. Request us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also can ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we have processed your information unlawfully or where we need to erase your personal data to comply with law. (In some cases, we may need to continue to retain some of your personal data where required by law. If these apply, we will notify you at the time of our response.)

  • Objection. Object to us processing your personal data where (a) we are relying on legitimate interests as the lawful basis and you feel the processing impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms, or (b) the processing is for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may refuse your objection if we can demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing your information which override your rights and freedoms.

  • Restriction. Request that we restrict or suspend our processing of your personal data:
    • if you want us to establish the data's accuracy;

    • where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it;

This right only applies to information processed by automated means that we process on the lawful bases of consent or performance of a contract.

  • Withdraw consent. Withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. Please know that this does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent, and after withdrawal, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

  • Complain to the UK data protection regulator. If you are unhappy with how we process your personal data, we ask that you contact us first using the details below so that we have the chance to put it right. However, you also have the right to make a complaint to the ICO at any time.
