What is our policy on tracking?
You may be able to adjust your browser’s settings to turn on a “do not track” feature.

If you are a resident of the European Union, you have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation, which are outlined below:

- The right of access
You have the right to obtain access to your personal information (if we [or a third party on our behalf] are processing it), and certain other information such as the reasons why we are processing or storing it.

- The right to rectification
You are entitled to request that your personal information is promptly corrected if it is identified as being inaccurate or incomplete.
- The right to erasure
This is also known as “the right to be forgotten” and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your information under certain circumstances where there’s no compelling reason for us to keep using it. This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions.
- The right to restrict processing
You have rights to “block” or suppress further use of your personal information. When processing is restricted We can still store your information but may not be able to process it further. We maintain lists of people who have asked for further use of their personal information to be “blocked” to make sure the restriction is respected in future.

This includes your right to withdraw your consent to us using your personal data for marketing purposes.
We usually act on validated requests and provide the requested information or activity free of charge, but by law we are allowed to charge a reasonable fee to cover our administrative costs of providing the information for:
- baseless or excessive/repeated requests, or
- further copies of the same information.
Alternatively, there are reasons why we may be entitled to refuse to act on the request.
Please consider your request responsibly before submitting it. We’ll respond as soon as we can. Generally, this will be within one month from when we receive your validated request but, if the request is going to take longer to address, we will let you know.
