What rights you have over your data
You have the following rights over the personal data we hold about you:
Access: you can ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction: you can ask us to correct data that is wrong or incomplete.
Erasure: you can ask us to delete your data. If you do, we will keep only your email address on a “do not contact” list, using the lawful basis of legitimate interest, so that we don’t contact you again by mistake.
Restriction: you can ask us to pause using your data, for example while we check whether it is accurate.
Portability: you can ask for the data you gave us in a common electronic format, such as a spreadsheet, so you can move it elsewhere.
Withdrawing consent: we hold your data because you gave us your consent. You can withdraw it at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” in any email, replying STOP to a text, or emailing us. This doesn’t affect anything we did with your data before you withdrew it.
Your right to stop campaign messages: you can tell us to stop sending you campaign emails or texts at any time, and we will stop.
