Under data protection law, here are the rights you have when it comes to your personal data:
The Right to be Informed: You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your information and your rights. This is why we’re providing you with the information in this Privacy Policy.
The Right of Access: You have the right to obtain a copy of your information that we hold, and certain other information (similar to that provided in this Privacy Policy).
The Right of Rectification: You are entitled to have your information corrected if it’s inaccurate or incomplete.
The Right to Erasure: This is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’ and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your information where there’s no compelling reason for us to keep using it. This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions.
The Right to Restrict Processing: You have rights to ‘block’ or suppress further use of your information. When processing is restricted, we can still store your information, but may not use it further.

The Right to Data Portability: You have rights to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services.

The Right to Withdraw Consent: If you have given your consent to anything we do with your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (although if you do so, it does not mean that anything we have done with your personal data with your consent up to that point is unlawful). This includes your right to withdraw consent to us using your personal data for marketing purposes.
