You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law.

However we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

If we believe that your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances and will report our reasoning as well as the details of your request to the Information Commissioner.

Information we need from you
