How long your information is kept:

We keep your personal/business data only for as long as necessary for each purpose we use it. 

Your rights:

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal/business data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal/business data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

  • Request correction of the personal/business data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.

  • Request erasure of your personal/business data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal/business data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal/business data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).

  • Object to processing of your personal/business data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal/business data for direct marketing purposes.

  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal/business data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal/business data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it. You can also withdraw your consent, where this is the basis for our processing your data (without affecting the lawfulness of our previous processing based on consent).

  • Request the transfer of your personal/business data to another party.

Please note that the above rights are not absolute, and we may be entitled to refuse requests where exceptions apply.
