Your GDPR Rights
Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right to Access
You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you. You can request a copy of your personal information, and we will provide it in a commonly used electronic format.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. We will make reasonable efforts to keep your information accurate and up to date.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including when:
- The data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected
- You withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
- You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
- The data has been unlawfully processed
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data in certain situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that processing of your personal data infringes data protection laws. In the United Kingdom, the supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner's Office.
