You can exercise these rights using the contact details at the end of this Privacy Policy (see Section 14 “Contact Us” below).

    • Right of access to your personal information – You have the right to receive a copy of your personal information that we hold about you, subject to certain exemptions.
    • Right to rectify your personal information – You have the right to ask us to correct your personal information that we hold where it is incorrect or incomplete.
    • Right to erasure of your personal information – You have the right to ask that your personal information be deleted in certain circumstances. For example (i) where your personal information is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise used; (ii) if you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal ground for which we rely on for the continued use of your personal information; (iii) if you object to the use of your personal information (as set out below); (iv) if we have used your personal information unlawfully; or (v) if your personal information needs to be erased to comply with a legal obligation.
    • Right to restrict the use of your personal information – You have the right to suspend our use of your personal information in certain circumstances. For example (i) where you think your personal information is inaccurate and only for such period to enable us to verify the accuracy of your personal information; (ii) the use of your personal information is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal information and request that it is suspended instead; (iii) we no longer need your personal information, but your personal information is required by you for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or (iv) you have objected to the use of your personal information and we are verifying whether our grounds for the use of your personal information override your objection.
    • Right to data portability – You have the right to obtain your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and for it to be transferred to another organization, where it is technically feasible. The right only applies where the use of your personal information is based on your consent or for the performance of a contract, and when the use of your personal information is carried out by automated (i.e. electronic) means.
    • Right to object to the use of your personal information – You have the right to object to the use of your personal information in certain circumstances.
