If you request that we stop sending you marketing materials, we will continue to keep a record of your contact details and appropriate information to enable us to comply with your request not to be contacted by us.
Under the GDPR, individuals are granted the following rights:
Onward Transfer
If we intend to disclose your personal information to any third party that will carry out processing on our behalf, we will enter into a contract with that third party that provides that your personal information may be processed only for limited and specified purposes consistent with the consent that you have provided to us, and that the third party must provide the same level of protection for your personal information that we are obligated to provide under this Privacy Policy while it is processing your personal information.
Right of Access
You have the right to ask what personal information we have about you in our possession.
You have the right to obtain a copy of your personal data free of charge so long as it does not adversely affect the rights of others. We may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs for additional copies. The right of access includes the right to request that we update, correct or complete your personal information in our possession.
Right of Erasure
You have a right to request that data be deleted or erased when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected or processed, when you withdraw your consent, when data is unlawfully processed, to comply with a legal obligation of the EU or a Member State, or when you object to the processing and we are unable to demonstrate compelling, legitimate grounds for the processing which overrides your rights, freedoms or interests.
Personal data does not have to be erased when and to the extent it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have a right to restrict the processing of your personal data when you contest the accuracy of the personal data in our possession until we are able to verify its accuracy, or if the processing is unlawful and you oppose its erasure and request restriction instead.
Right to Data Portability
The right to data portability is triggered when processing activity was based on your consent, or was necessary for the performance of a contract, and the processing was carried out by automated means. This right, however, shall not adversely affect the rights of others.
Sensitive Information

This right does not apply to decisions that are necessary for entering into or performing a contract with you or are based on your explicit consent.
Right to Object to Processing
You have the right to object to processing when it is based on a legitimate interest of the controller or a third party, or to processing that occurs for direct marketing purposes.

Changes to Our Processing
If we are using your personal information on the basis of your consent, and we change our Privacy Policy to permit any use or disclosure of your personal information that is materially different from the uses for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorised by you, we will obtain your consent before we make such further uses of your personal information.

We reserve the right to refuse to act on a request, or to charge a reasonable administrative fee when a request is either manifestly unfounded or excessive because of its repetitive character.
