Personal
data is defined as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can

Personal

identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and
contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as
identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.
Anonymous
information, which we are not in a position to relate to you, does not qualify
as personal data.

Your Rights?
You have
the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:

Privacy Policy should tell you everything you need to know, but you can always

f) The
right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or
purposes.

to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a
contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for
a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business in many
cases.
h) Rights
relating to automated decision-making and profiling. We do not use your
personal data in this way.

In addition

controls on our use of personal data of our website users for direct marketing

users may do by unsubscribing using the links provided in our emails and/or at
the point of providing user details and by managing user Account).

ask us to update and correct any out-of-date or incorrect personal information
that we hold about you.

that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held).
This is known as a “subject access request”.
All subject
access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email shown in Part

available for you to use. You do not have to use this form, but it is the
easiest way to tell us everything we need to know to respond to your request as
quickly as possible.
There is
not normally any charge for a subject access request. If your request is
‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive
requests) a fee may be charged to cover our administrative costs in responding.
We will
respond to your subject access request within one month of receiving it.
Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your
personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your
request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three
months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed
of our progress.
If you wish
to exercise any of these rights, then please, contact us as described in part
14.
