We take every reasonable step to ensure that your Personal Data are only Processed for the minimum period necessary for the purposes set out in this Notice.

You have the right to ask us for a copy of your Personal Data; to correct, delete or restrict (and/or stop any active) processing of your Personal Data; and to obtain the Personal Data you provide to us for a contract or with your consent in a structured, machine readable format, and/or to ask us to share (and/or port) this data to another controller.
In addition, you can object to the processing of your Personal Data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the Personal Data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the Personal Data for direct marketing). 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 to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping. We will inform you of relevant exemptions we rely upon when responding to any request you make.
