This allows you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check we are lawfully processing it. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

• Correction of the personal information we hold about you. This enables you to have any inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.

• Erasure of your personal information. You can ask us to delete or remove personal data if there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.

• To object to processing in certain circumstances (for example for direct marketing purposes).

• To transfer your personal information to another party.
