Your rights
- In this Section 8, we have summarised the rights that you have
under data protection law. Some of the rights are complex, and not all
of the details have been included in our summaries. Accordingly, you
should read the relevant laws and guidance from the regulatory
authorities for a full explanation of these rights.
- Your principal rights under data protection law are:
- the right to access;
- the right to rectification;
- the right to erasure;
- the right to restrict processing;
- the right to object to processing;
- the right to data portability;
- the right to complain to a supervisory authority; and
- the right to withdraw consent.
- You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process
your personal data and, where we do, access to the personal data,
together with certain additional information. That additional
information includes details of the purposes of the processing, the
categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of the
personal data. Providing the rights and freedoms of others are not
affected, we will supply to you a copy of your personal data. The
first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may
be subject to a reasonable fee.
- You have the right to have any inaccurate personal data about you
rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to
have any incomplete personal data about you completed.
- In some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your
personal data without undue delay. Those circumstances include the
case when the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the
purposes for which they were collected or otherwise
processed. However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure. The
general exclusions include where processing is necessary: for
exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; for
compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise
or defence of legal claims.
- In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the
processing of your personal data. Those circumstances are: you contest
the accuracy of the personal data; processing is unlawful but you
oppose erasure; we no longer need the personal data for the purposes
of our processing, but you require personal data for the
establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and you have
objected to processing, pending the verification of that
objection. Where processing has been restricted on this basis, we may
continue to store your personal data. However, we will only otherwise
process it: with your consent; for the establishment, exercise or
defence of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another
natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public
interest.
- You have the right to object to our processing of your personal
data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the
extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing
is necessary for: the performance of a task carried out in the public
interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or
the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third
party. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the
personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate
grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and
freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or
defence of legal claims.
- You have the right to object to our processing of your personal
data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct
marketing purposes). If you make such an objection, we will cease to
process your personal data for this purpose.
- You have the right to object to our processing of your personal
data for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical
purposes on grounds relating to your particular situation, unless the
processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for
reasons of public interest.
- To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your
personal data is:
- consent; or
- that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract
to which you are party or in order to take steps at your request prior
to entering into a contract,
and such processing is carried out by automated means, you have the
right to receive your personal data from us in a structured, commonly
used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply
where it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
- If you consider that our processing of your personal information
infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a
complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data
protection. You may do so in the EU member state of your habitual
residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged
infringement.
- To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your
personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that
consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of
processing before the withdrawal.
- You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal
data by written notice to us.
