Where we do so we will have adequate safeguards in place to protect the data.

You have various rights in relation to your personal data, including: to get copies of it; to have it corrected or deleted; to limit the way it is used; to transfer it; to object to its use; and not to be subject to decisions based on automated processing, including profiling. You can withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data at any time.

If we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time.

Where we process your personal information solely on behalf of a customer, we may be legally required to forward your request directly to our client for their review/handling.
Data retention
We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so – for example to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete or anonymise it or, in the limited circumstances where this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives) then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
