What we may need from you

• Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest and you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes
• Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:I. if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy
II. where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it
III. where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
IV. you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.• Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data.
