When the individual withdraws consent.

When the individual objects to the processing and there is no overriding legitimate interest for continuing the processing.

for public health purposes in the public interest;

Generally we will not process a request to erase information where there is an ongoing legal obligation on the company to retain the information, for example for taxation and social security purposes.

Right to Data Portability

The right to data portability allows individuals to obtain and reuse their personal data for their own purposes across different services. It allows them to move, copy or transfer personal data easily from one IT environment to another in a safe and secure way, without hindrance to usability.

The right to data portability only applies

to personal data an individual has provided to a controller;

where the processing is based on the individual’s consent or for the performance of a contract;

and when processing is carried out by automated means.

Right to Object

Individuals have the right to object to:

processing based on legitimate interests or the performance of a task in the public interest/exercise of official authority (including profiling);

direct marketing (including profiling);

and processing for purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics

You may instruct us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes by sending an email to us. In practice, we will provide you with continuing opportunities to opt-out of the use of your personal information for marketing purposes throughout our contact with you.

Right to Restrict Processing

This right may be exercised in the following circumstances;

Where an individual contests the accuracy of the personal data, the company shall restrict the processing until the accuracy of the personal data has been verified.

Where an individual has objected to the processing (where it was necessary for the performance of a public interest task or purpose of legitimate interests), and the company are considering whether it’s legitimate grounds override those of the individual.

When processing is unlawful and the individual opposes erasure and requests restriction instead.

If the company no longer needs the personal data but the individual requires the data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
