YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
You have certain rights with respect to personal information about you that is collected through this site or when you contact us.
You can access your personal data and there is no fee to pay when doing this unless your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive upon which we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse the request.
We need specific details from you to help us confirm your identity before we can provide access to your data.
We try to respond within 1 month, although occasionally it may take longer
ACCESS: You have a right to access, review and correct the information we hold about you.
ERASURE: You may be entitled to request the erasure of your personal information, for example, where the information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable
OBJECT: You may be entitled to object to certain types of processing activities where you feel it impacts your fundamental rights and freedom including where we are relying on legitimate interest to process your personal data or where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information in which case we are not obliged to comply with your request.
RESTRICTION: You may be entitled to request that we restrict our processing of your personal information, for example, where the accuracy of the information is contested by you.
