YOUR RIGHTS
Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have a number of important rights free of charge. In summary, those include rights to:
• request access to your personal data (commonly known as a ‘data subject access request’). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are processing it lawfully
• request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide you, or a third party you have chosen, with your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
