Request rectification of your personal data. if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal 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 data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. (Please note that we may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure for specific legal reasons. These will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request).
Object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes. This includes the processing of data for direct marketing purposes, consent-based processing after you have withdrawn your consent or where we are relying on a legitimate interest and you believe the processing impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interest to process your data which overrides your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or a third party. You can ask us for a copy of your personal data to be transferred (in computer file in a common format) for use by another entity where this is technically possible.
