Request rectification of your Personal Data. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.

In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
