You have the right to request that we erase all of your Personal Data where certain legal conditions are met, such as when your Personal Data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and we do not need to retain the data information in order to comply with an EEA or UK legal obligation.
  • You have the right to restrict our processing of your Personal Data under certain circumstances. For example, you can request we restrict our use of your Personal Data if you contest its accuracy, or if the processing of your Personal Data is determined to be unlawful but you do not want it erased.
  • To the extent the Personal Data you provide us is processed based on your consent or to perform a contract, you have the right to request that we provide you (or a third party at your direction) a copy of all or part of such Personal Data in structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
  • Withdrawal of Consent. To the extent that our processing of your Personal Data is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time, for example by sending us an email to op-out of marketing messages. Withdrawing your consent will not, however, affect the lawfulness of the processing based on your consent before its withdrawal, and will not affect the lawfulness of our continued processing that is based on any other lawful basis for processing your Personal Data.
  • Objection to processing – Legitimate interests. You have the right to object to our processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) to justify our processing, if you have grounds to object based on your particular situation. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your data that override your rights and freedoms.
  • Objection to processing – Marketing. You have the right to object to our processing of your Personal Data at any time, for any reason or no reason, where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes.
  • If you are a resident of France, you have the right to issue directions regarding the disposal of your Personal Data upon your death.

In your request, please make clear what Personal Data you would like to have rectified, whether you would like to have your Personal Data erased, or otherwise let us know what restrictions you would like to place on our use of your Personal Data. For your protection, we may only implement requests with respect to the Personal Data associated with the particular email address that you use to send us your request, and we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable.

Please note that we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior to requesting a rectification or erasure (e.g., when you make a purchase or enter a promotion, you may not be able to rectify the Personal Data provided until after the completion of such purchase or promotion). There may also be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will not be removed.
