Withdraw your consent at any time. You have the right to withdraw consent where you have previously given your consent to the processing of your personal data.
Right to object. This right enables you to object to us processing your personal data where we do so for one of the following reasons: (i) because it is in our legitimate interests to do so; (ii) to enable us to perform a task in the public interest or exercise official authority; (iii) to send you direct marketing materials; or (iv) for scientific, historical, research or statistical purposes.
Right to access. You may ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you at any time, and request us to modify, update or delete such information. If we provide you with access to the information we hold about you, we will not charge you for this unless permitted by law.

If we refuse your request we will always tell you the reasons for doing so.
Right to rectification. You have the right to request that we rectify any inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold about you.
