Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including direct marketing.

Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided above. We will respond to your request within one month. There is no fee for making a request, unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

Encryption of personal data where appropriate
Regular testing and evaluation of security measures

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and our legal obligations.
