In other circumstances, it will be at your discretion whether you provide us with Personal Data or not. However, failure to supply any of the Personal Data we request may mean that we are unable to maintain our operations or our relationship with you.

3.3 We make every effort to maintain the accuracy and completeness of your Personal Data which we store and to ensure all of your Personal Data is up to date. However, you can assist us with this considerably by promptly contacting us if there are any changes to your Personal Data or if you become aware that we have inaccurate Personal Data relating to you (see Clause 9 below).

12 HOW YOU CAN CONTACT US

Email: [email protected]

13 HOW TO LODGE A COMPLAINT TO THE REGULATOR

You are entitled to lodge a complaint with our data protection regulator if you consider that we have breached your data protection rights. In the UK, our data protection regulator is the Information Commissioner’s Office, which can be contacted at Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.5

1. By "processing", we mean the collection, recording, storage, use, disclosure and any other form of operations or dealings with your Personal Data.

3. This data subject right is only required to be covered in the privacy notice where the processing is based on consent or necessity for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party - delete or amend as relevant.

4. The GDPR requires that subject access requests may be made electronically, e.g. by email. Please be aware that requests could conceivably take an unconventional form, e.g. a tweet to a company could constitute a subject access request.

5. We have inserted details for the UK data protection regulator here, but note that this may not always be the correct regulator for multinational organisations. Where an organisation carries out processing in multiple countries across the EU (either through multiple establishments in the EU or through cross-border processing from one establishment), it will need to identify a “lead” supervisory authority responsible for handling data protection complaints relating to that organisation. This is normally the data protection regulator of the country where central decisions regarding the purposes and manner of the processing takes place, but this can sometimes be tricky to assess if the organisation's place of central administration differs from the place where such decisions are actually made. Article 29 Working Party has published further guidance here on identifying who should be the lead supervisory authority.
