a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive
a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are
lawfully processing it.

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 also have the right to ask
us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully
exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may
have processed your information unlawfully or where 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 the processing of your
personal data in the following scenarios:
- 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;
-
where 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; or
-
you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether
we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
-
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to
a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen,
your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable
format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which
you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the
information to perform a contract with you.
-
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on
consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the
