    Data subject rights

    The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation and other countries’ privacy laws provide certain rights for data subjects. A good explanation of them (in English) is available on the website of the United Kingdom’s Information Commissioner’s Office.

    You may also request information about: the purpose of the processing; the categories of personal data concerned; who else outside the Company might have received the data from the Company; what the source of the information was (if you didn’t provide it directly to the Company); and how long it will be stored.

You may request that the Company erase that data or cease processing it, subject to certain exceptions. You may also request that the Company cease using your data for direct marketing purposes.

When technically feasible, the Company will—at your request—provide your personal data to you or transmit it directly to another controller.
