- Your rights
8.1 In section 8 we have summarized the rights you have under data protection legislation. Some of the rights are complex and not all details have been included in our summaries. Accordingly, you should read the relevant laws and regulatory guidelines for a full explanation of these rights.

(a) the right of access;
(b) the right to a hearing;
(c) the right to erasure;
(d) the right to restrict processing;
(e) the right to object to the processing;
(f) the right to data portability;
(g) the right to complain to a regulatory authority; and
(h) the right to withdraw consent.
8.3 You have the right to confirm whether we process your personal data and access to the personal data, together with certain additional information. The additional information includes details of the purposes of the processing of personal data, the categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of the personal data. Provided that the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, we will provide you with a copy of your personal data. The first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be subject to a reasonable charge.
8.4 You have the right to have incorrect personal data about you corrected and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have incomplete personal data about you supplemented.
8.5 In some cases, you have the right to deletion of your personal data without undue delay. These circumstances include: [the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; you object to the processing according to certain rules in the applicable data protection legislation; the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the personal data has been processed unlawfully]. However, there are exceptions to the right to erasure. The general exceptions include when processing is necessary: [to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information; for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims].
8.6 In some cases, you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. These circumstances are: you dispute the accuracy of the personal data; the processing is illegal but you object to erasure; we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you need the personal data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; and you have objected to the processing pending the verification of that objection. If processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your personal data. However, we will only process it otherwise: with your consent; for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.
8.7 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary to: carry out a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, we will stop processing the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is intended for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
8.8 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you make such an objection, we will stop processing your personal data for this purpose.
8.9 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes on grounds relating to your particular situation, unless the processing is necessary to carry out a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
8.10 To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is:
(a) consent; or
(b) that the processing is necessary to fulfill a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract;
and such processing is carried out in automated ways, you have the right to receive your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply if it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
8.11 If you believe that our processing of your personal data is in breach of data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. You can do so in the EU Member State where you have your usual place of residence, your workplace or the place of the alleged infringement.
8.12 To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Revocation will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the revocation.
8.13 You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data [by written notice to us] [, in addition to the other methods set out in section 8].
