One of the GDPR's main objectives is to protect and clarify the rights of EU citizens and individuals in the EU with regards to data privacy. This means that you retain various rights in respect of your data, even once you have given it to us.
You may ask us to confirm what information we hold about you at any time, and request us to modify, update or Delete such information.
We may ask you to verify your identity and for more information about your request.
If we provide you with access to the information we hold about you, we will not charge you for this unless your request is “manifestly unfounded or excessive”.
If you request further copies of this information from us, we may charge you a reasonable administrative cost where legally permissible.
Where we are legally permitted to do so, we may refuse your request. If we refuse your request we will always tell you the reasons for doing so.
Please note that in certain of the jurisdictions in which we operate, we comply with additional local law requirements regarding data subject request management and may refuse your request in accordance with such laws.

it is necessary for the data to be erased in order for us to comply with our legal obligations as a data controller; or
if we process the data because we believe it necessary to do so for our legitimate interests, you object to the processing and we are unable to demonstrate overriding legitimate grounds for our continued processing.
Please note that in certain of the jurisdictions in which we operate, we comply with additional local law requirements regarding data subject right to erasure and may refuse your request in accordance with local laws.

where our processing of your data is unlawful, but you would prefer us to restrict our processing of it rather than erasing it; and
where we have no further need to process your personal data but you require the data to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
