advisers, to facilitate sales and for general commercial purposes.
In addition, where necessary, your personal data may be shared:

7. YOUR RIGHTS
7.1  We respect your rights to privacy and will respond to requests for access or control over
information about you in accordance with Data Protection Law. We may require you to verify
your identity before we take any action.
7.2  Depending on the reason we have your personal data, you have a right to:
    7.2.1 access the personal information we hold about you (commonly known as subject
access);
    7.2.2 request that we correct or complete personal information we hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete;
    7.2.3 request that we erase your personal information in some circumstances, or object to our processing it as detailed at paragraph 7.5;
    7.2.4 restrict how we use your personal information, in certain circumstances;

7.5 Your right to object
You have a right to object to our processing of your personal data and ask us to stop doing
so. If we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes (which includes
profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing) and you object to this, we will stop processing your personal data immediately. If our processing of your personal data is in the public interest or pursuant to our legitimate interests and you object to this, we will stop processing your personal data unless we have compelling reasons which override your interests, or our use of your personal data is for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
7.6  We hope that we can satisfy any queries you may have about the way we process your data. However, if you have unresolved concerns you also have the right to complain to data protection authorities (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office).
