8.1 In this Section 8, we have summarised the rights that you have under data  protection law. Some of the rights are complex, and not all of the details have  been included in our summaries. Accordingly, you should read the relevant  laws and guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of  these rights.

8.3 You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your  personal data and, where we do, access to the personal data, together with  certain additional information. That additional information includes details of  the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned  and the recipients of the personal data. Providing the rights and freedoms of  others are not affected, we will supply to you a copy of your personal data.  The first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be  subject to a reasonable fee. 

8.4 You have the right to have any inaccurate personal data about you rectified  and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any  incomplete personal data about you completed. 

8.5 In some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your personal data without undue delay. Those circumstances include: the personal data are no  longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or 

otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; you  object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection law;  the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the personal data have  been unlawfully processed.

8.6 In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your  personal data. Those circumstances are: you contest the accuracy of the  personal data; processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure; we no longer  need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require  personal data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and  you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection.  Where processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store  your personal data. However, we will only otherwise process it: with your  consent; for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; for the  protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of  important public interest. 

8.7 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on  grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the  legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for: the  performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of  any official authority vested in us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests  pursued by us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling  legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of  legal claims. 

8.8 You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct  marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you  make such an objection, we will cease to process your personal data for this  purpose.

(b) that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to  which you are party or in order to take steps at your request prior to  entering into a contract, 

and such processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used and  machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply where it would  adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. 

8.11 If you consider that our processing of your personal data infringes data  protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. In relation to complaints under EU  data protection law, you may do so in the EU member state of your habitual  residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement; in 

relation to complaints under UK data protection law, you should do so in the  UK. 

8.12 To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is  consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal  will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.
