No system can be completely secure, however, and we do not guarantee that unauthorized disclosures and access will not happen.

We endeavor to accurately record the personal information you provide us. 
You have the right of access.  If you ask us, we will confirm whether we are processing your personal information and if we are, will provide you with a copy of that personal information. 
Your right to rectification.  If the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you are entitled to have it corrected. If we’ve shared your personal information with others, we’ll let them know about the correction where possible. If you ask us, where possible and lawful to do so, we’ll also tell you who we’ve shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
Your right to erasure.  You can ask us to delete or remove your personal information in some circumstances, if we no longer need it or if you withdraw your consent (where applicable). If we’ve shared your personal information with others, we will let them know about the erasure where possible.

Your right to object.  You can ask us to stop processing your personal information, and we will do so if we are relying on our own or someone else’s legitimate interests to process your personal information.  
Your rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling.
You have the right not to be subject to a decision when it’s based on automatic processing, including profiling, if it produces a legal effect or similarly significantly affects you, unless such profiling is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us.
Your right to withdraw consent.  If we rely on your consent (or explicit consent) as our legal basis for processing your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
Your right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority.
If you have a concern about any aspect of our privacy practices, including the way we’ve handled your personal information, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or of an alleged infringement of the General Data Protection Regulation.

If your information is only useful for a short period e.g. for specific marketing campaigns we may delete it.
Your rights to request that we delete your personal information are set forth in the “Accessing, Correcting, and Deleting Your Personal Information” section above.
