If you feel that any of the information that we hold about you is incorrect, do let us know so that we can look into it and amend it.

You have the right to object

You should know that there are some circumstances where we may need to keep your details, for example, if it is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation. If this situation occurs, then we will explain and discuss these circumstances with you.

You have the right to restrict processing of your data

You can request that we restrict the processing of your data, as an alternative to deleting it – this means that we will keep the data but stop processing it for most purposes.

You should know that there are some circumstances where these rights may not apply, but where this is the case we will always explain this to you.
