4. How Long We Hold Your Personal Data

If we collect your personal data, the length of time we retain it is determined by a number of factors including the purpose for which we use that information and our obligations under other laws. We do not retain personal data in an identifiable format for longer than is necessary. When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal data, we will delete the personal data that we hold about you from our systems.

5. Your Rights

You have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. In relation to certain rights, we may ask you for information to confirm your identity and, where applicable, to help us to search for your personal data. Except in rare cases, we will respond to you within one month from either (i) the date that we have confirmed your identity or (ii) where we do not need to do this because we already have this information, from the date we received your request.

Accessing your personal data: You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal data that we hold about you by emailing us using the address in Section 1 of this policy. We may not provide you with a copy of your personal data if this concerns other individuals or we have another lawful reason to withhold that personal data.
Correcting and updating your personal data: The accuracy of your personal data is important to us. If you change your name or address/email address, or you discover that any of the other information we hold is inaccurate or out of date, please let us know by emailing us using the address in Section 1 of this policy.
Withdrawing your consent: Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing your personal data, as set out above. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the details in Section 1 of this policy. If you withdraw your consent, our use of your personal data before you withdraw is still lawful.
Objecting to our use of your personal data: Where we rely on your legitimate business interests as the legal basis for processing your personal data for any purpose(s), as out above, you may object to us using your personal data for these purposes by contacting us using the details in Section 1 of this policy. Except for the purposes for which we are sure we can continue to process your personal data, we will temporarily stop processing your personal data in line with your objection until we have investigated the matter.

Otherwise, we will provide you with our justification as to why we need to continue using your data.
Erasing your personal data or restricting its processing: In certain circumstances, you may ask for your personal data to be removed from our systems by contacting us using the details in Section 1 of this policy. Unless there is a reason that the law allows us to use your personal data for longer, we will make reasonable efforts to comply with your request.
You may also ask us to restrict processing your personal data where you believe it is unlawful for us to do so, you have objected to its use, and our investigation is pending, or you require us to keep it in connection with legal proceedings. In these situations, we may only process your personal data while its processing is restricted if we have your consent or are legally permitted to do so, for example for storage purposes, to protect the rights of another individual or company or in connection with legal proceedings.
