• Request rectification of the personal information that we hold about you.  This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
• Request erasure of your personal information.  This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.

We can also refuse to comply with an unfounded or excessive request. We may need to request information from you to confirm your identity, in order to make sure that personal data is not disclosed to someone who is not entitled to have it. We may also need to ask you for additional information to help us respond to your request. We will try to respond to your request within one month but, if the request is very complex or if you have made a number of requests, we are legally able to extend the request by an additional two months.
