4. Your Rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you, as a data subject, have a number of rights which are detailed below. Some of these only apply in specific circumstances and are qualified in several respects by exemptions in data protection legislation. We will advise you in our response to your request if we are relying on any such exemptions.
Access to Personal Data
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you. Should you wish to make such a request, please contact us. You should include adequate information to identify yourself and any other relevant information that will reasonably assist us in fulfilling your request. Your request will be dealt with as soon as possible.
Correction of Personal Data
You can request us to rectify and correct any personal data that we are processing about you which is incorrect.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where we have relied upon your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent.
To Opt Out of Marketing
You can use the unsubscribe link found in the marketing communication you receive from us.
Right of Erasure
You can request us to erase your personal data where there is no compelling reason to continue processing. This right only applies in certain circumstances and is not a guaranteed or absolute right.
Right to Data Portability
This right allows you to obtain your personal data that you have provided to us with your consent in a format which enables you to transfer that personal data to another organisation. You may have the right to have your personal data transferred by us directly to the other organisation, if this is technically feasible.
Right to Restrict Processing of Personal Data

Rights Relating to Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
