8. Your rights

8.1 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.

8.2 Your principal rights under data protection law are:

(a) the right to access;

(b) the right to rectification;

(c) the right to erasure;

(d) the right to restrict processing;

(e) the right to object to processing;

(f) the right to data portability;

(g) the right to complain to a supervisory authority; and

(h) the right to withdraw consent.

8.3 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.

8.4 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.

8.5 In some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your personal data

without undue delay. Those circumstances include: the personal data are no

longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or

otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; you

object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection law;

the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the personal data have

been unlawfully 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.

8.6 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.

8.7 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.

8.8 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.

8.9 To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is:

(a) consent; or

(b) 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.

8.10 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.

8.11 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.

8.12 You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data by

written notice to us.
