  • The right to restrict processing enables you to ask us to halt the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example if you want us to verify its accuracy or our legitimate interests in processing it.



  • The right to object enables you to object to your personal data being processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (or those of a third party).  We will stop such processing unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing or the processing is necessary for the exercise or defence of legal claims.
