Change to the Data Protection Law
The law in relation to data protection has changed from May 2018. This Privacy Notice has been updated to reflect your new rights and to update you on how we process your personal data.
You should read through this Privacy Notice to fully understand the basis upon which we collect your personal data, how we use it, where we store it and to whom it is disclosed.
We are dedicated to keeping your data safe and complying with applicable data protection legislation.
Your Rights
By law, you have a number of rights when it comes to your personal data. Further information and advice about your rights can be obtained from the data protection regulator in your country, in the UK this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

3. Right to rectification
You are entitled to have your data corrected if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
4. Right to erasure
The right to erasure is also known as 'the right to be forgotten'. It enables you to request the deletion or removal of your personal data where there's no compelling reason for us to keep processing it. This is not a general right to erasure; under certain circumstances we will need to continue processing your data in spite of a request for its deletion.
5. Right to restrict processing
You have the right to request the restriction or suppression of your personal data. However, this is not an absolute right and only applies in certain circumstances. When processing is restricted, we can still store your personal data, but may not use it further.
