What rights you have over your data

You have the right to ask for a copy of your personal data (Art. 15 GDPR); to correct (Art. 16 GDPR), delete (Art. 17 GDPR) or restrict (Art. 18 GDPR) processing of your personal data; and to obtain the personal data you provide in a structured, machine readable format (Art. 20 GDPR). In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal data (Art. 21 GDPR) in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement). Where we have asked for your consent, you may withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7 GDPR). If you ask to withdraw your consent to processing your data, this will not affect any processing which has already taken place at that time.

These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep. If you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to complain to a data protection authority (Art. 77 GDPR).
