This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, however we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data that you provide to us
(iii) To request erasure of your personal data.
This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.
Please note that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
