A summary of each right and how an individual can take steps to exercise it is set out below.

If you wish to exercise any of the above rights, please contact us using the contact details specified below. Such requests should include appropriate identity verification information (such as your name, address, email address, or other information reasonably required).

Where we receive a request to exercise one of these rights, we shall provide information on the action we will take on the request without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt of the request. This may be extended by a further two months in certain circumstances, for example where requests are complex or numerous.

The information will be provided free of charge, except where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character. In these circumstances, we may charge a reasonable fee or may refuse to act on the request. We will advise an individual of any fees prior to proceeding with a request.

We may ask for additional information to verify an individual's identity before carrying out a request.

Where we do not carry out a request, we shall inform the individual without delay and within one month of receipt of the request, providing our reasons for not taking the action requested.

Right to access personal data

Individuals, in certain circumstances, have the right to confirm the following with us:

• Whether or not we possess and/or process their personal data and
• Certain specified information about the processing.

Individuals also have a right to access their personal data and to be provided with a copy of such data.

Right to restrict processing of personal data

Individuals, in certain jurisdictions, have the right to request that we restrict processing of their personal data where one of the following applies:

• An individual contests the accuracy of the personal data. The restriction will apply until we have taken steps to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
• The processing is unlawful, but an individual does not want the personal data to be erased and requests restriction instead;
• We no longer require the personal data for the purposes of processing, but it is still required by an individual in connection with a legal claim; or
• An individual has exercised their right to object to the processing. The restriction will apply until we have taken steps to verify whether we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing.

Right to object to processing of personal data

Where personal data is used to target marketing to an individual, they have the right to object to this at any stage.

An individual also has the right to object to the processing of their personal data where the legal basis of the processing is our legitimate interests. We will have to stop processing until we are able to verify that we have compelling legitimate grounds for processing which override the individual's interests, rights, and freedoms, or alternatively that we need to continue processing for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Right to rectification of personal data

In certain jurisdictions, if an individual believes that the personal data we hold on them is inaccurate, they may request that it be amended. They may also request that incomplete personal data be completed, including by providing a supplementary statement.

Right to request erasure of personal data ("right to be forgotten")

An individual may also request the erasure of their personal data in certain circumstances, including the following (this is not an exhaustive list):

• The personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed and
• The processing was based on consent which has been withdrawn and there is no other legal basis for processing.

There are also certain exceptions where we may refuse a request for erasure, for example, where the personal data is required to comply with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If an individual does request erasure of their personal data, this will potentially remove records which we hold for their benefit, such as their presence on a suppression list, and they will have to contact us to provide Personal Information if they wish for us to hold this in the future.

Right to data portability

Where we are relying upon the legal basis either of consent or that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which an individual is a party, and that personal data is processed by automatic means (e.g., electronically), an individual has the right to receive all the personal data which they have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit this to another controller directly, where this is technically feasible.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

An individual may have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority where they are habitually resident, where they work, or where an alleged infringement of data protection laws has taken place.
