You can ask us for further information on these specific circumstances by contacting us using the details in section 14.
      We will pass your request onto other recipients of your personal information unless that is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You can ask us who the recipients are using the contact details in section 14.
      (e) Right to stop marketing: You may have a right to ask us to stop using your personal information for direct marketing purposes. If you exercise this right, we will stop using your personal information for this purpose.

      This right only applies where we use your personal information on the basis of your consent or performance of a contract; and where our use of your information is carried out by automated means.
      (g) Right to object. You may have a right to ask us to consider any valid objections which you have to our use of your personal information where we process your personal information on the basis of our or another person’s legitimate interest.

We will consider all such requests and provide our response within a reasonable period (and, where required by applicable law, within one month of your request, unless we tell you we are entitled to a longer period under applicable law). Please note, certain personal information may be exempt from such requests in certain circumstances. For example, where it is necessary to process that personal information for research purposes, if we need to keep using the information to comply with our own legal obligations, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
    3. If an exception applies, we will tell you this when responding to your request. We may request you provide us with information necessary to confirm your identity before responding to any request you make.
