• Object to processing of your personal dataWhere we are relying on a Legitimate Interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.

• Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third partyWe 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 consentAt 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.

• Please email us at [email protected] if you wish to exercise any of these rights. Note we DO NOT charge any fee for the supply of such data and aim to respond within ten days of any request.
