purposes through other means

This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check
that we are lawfully processing it. You can request access to this data by contacting
the DPO using the contact details specified above.
- Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to
have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may
need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
- Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove
personal data where:
- there is no good reason for us continuing to process it
- you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below)
- we may have processed your information unlawfully
- we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.
Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure
for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time
of your request.
- Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest
(or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation
which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts
on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we
are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we
may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information
which override your rights and freedoms.
- Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us
to suspend processing your personal data in the following scenarios if:
- you want us to establish the data's accuracy
- our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it
- you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish,
exercise, or defend legal claims
- you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding
legitimate grounds to use it.
- Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal
data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before
you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide
certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw
your consent.
