the right to object to your personal data being processed where the legal basis for the processing is our own legitimate interests as a business (see the ‘legal basis for processing’ section above).

the right to rectification. You may request that we rectify any inaccurate and/or complete any incomplete personal data;
-
the right to withdraw consent. You may, as permitted by applicable law, withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time.
