Your rights
As a general rule, you are entitled to access and request rectification or erasure of the personal data we hold on you. In certain circumstances, privacy legislation allows you to request that the processing be restricted, to object to the processing, and to receive the data in a machine-readable format (data portability).

Automated decision-making
We do not use systems that make automated decisions about you without human input. This means that important decisions about you always involve a member of staff and are never made by computer systems alone.
