- The right to request correction of the Personal Data we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected. However, we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
- The right to request restriction of the processing of your Personal Data. This enables you to contact us requesting that we cease processing your Personal Data in the following circumstances:

In certain cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process information about you that override your right to object.
