If you’re a user or visitor in the European Economic Area these
rights also apply to you:
1. For the purposes of applicable EU data protection law
(including the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (the “GDPR”), we are
a ‘data controller’ of your personal information.
How you can access your personal information
1.
You are also entitled to ask us to port your personal information (i.e. to
transfer in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, to you),
to erase it, or restrict its processing. You also have rights to object to some
processing that is based on our legitimate interests, such as profiling that we
perform for the purposes of direct marketing, and, where we have asked for your
consent to process your data, to withdraw this consent as more fully described
below.
2. These rights are limited in some situations – for example, we
can demonstrate that we have a legal requirement to process your personal
information. In some instances, this means that we may retain some data even if
you withdraw your consent.
3. Where we require your personal information to comply with legal
or contractual obligations, then provision of such data is mandatory: if such
data is not provided, then we will not be able to manage our contractual
relationship with you or to meet obligations placed on us. In all
other cases, the provision of requested personal information is optional.
4. If you have unresolved concerns you also have the right to
complain to data protection authorities. The relevant data protection authority
will be the data protection authority of the country: (i) of your habitual
residence; (ii) of your place of work; or (iii) in which you consider the
alleged infringement has occurred.
Both personal information and personal data have the same meaning
in the context on this page.
