This right is limited to certain cases, in particular, if: (a) the data is incorrect; (b) the processing is unlawful, and you refuse its deletion; (c) we no longer require the data but you require the data for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. If the processing is restricted, we may continue to store the data, but not use it. We shall keep a list of the persons who have exercised the right to restrict processing in order to ensure this restriction;

9.5. Right to data portability: 

This right provides that we transmit your personal data in a structured, accessible and machine-readable format for your own purposes insofar as this is technically possible;

In order to exercise your rights, to file a complaint or to transmit any other enquiries, please contact us by email or post. We shall endeavour to respond to you within 30 days.
