3. HOW AND WHY WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may use and process your personal information where you have consented for us to do so, including:

- to anonymise or delete your personal information when it is no longer required for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy;

Processing necessary for us to respond to changing market conditions and the needs of our users

Processing necessary for us to operate the administrative and technical aspects of our business efficiently and effectively
- to administer the website and for internal operations, including troubleshooting, testing and statistical purposes;

You have a number of rights in relation to your personal information under data protection law. In relation to certain rights, we may ask you for information to confirm your identity and, where applicable, to help us to search for your personal information. Except in rare cases, we will respond to you within 1 calendar month from either:
- the date we have confirmed your identity; or
- where we do not need to do this because we already have this information, from the date we received your request.
You have the following rights, some of which may only apply in certain circumstances:
| Your Rights |
Further Information |
| To have your information corrected if it is inaccurate and to have incomplete personal information completed |
If you change your name or address/email address, or you discover any of the other information we hold is inaccurate or out of date, please let us know by contacting us using any of the details described at the end of this Privacy Policy. |
| To object to processing of your personal information |
Where we rely on our legitimate interests as the lawful basis for processing your personal information for particular purposes, you may object to us using your personal information for these purposes by emailing us using the email address at the end of this Privacy Policy. Except for the purposes for which we are sure we can continue to process your personal information, we will temporarily stop processing your personal information in line with your objection until we have investigated the matter. If we agree your objection is justified in accordance with your rights under data protection laws, we will permanently stop using your data for those purposes. Otherwise we will provide you with our justification as to why we need to continue using your data. |
| To withdraw your consent to processing your personal information |
Where we rely on your consent as the lawful basis for processing your personal information, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the details at the end of this Privacy Policy.

You may ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information in the following situations:
- where you believe it is unlawful for us to do so; or
- you have objected to its use and our investigation is pending or you require us to keep it in connection with legal proceedings.
In these situations, we may only process your personal information whilst its processing is restricted if we have your consent or are legally permitted to do so, for example for storage purposes, to protect the rights of another individual or company or in connection with legal proceedings.
|
| To have your personal information erased |
In certain circumstances, you may ask for your personal information to be removed from our systems by emailing us at the email address at the end of this Privacy Policy. Unless there is a reason the law allows us to use your personal information for longer, we will make reasonable efforts to comply with your request. |

You have the right to ask for a copy of the information we hold about you by emailing us at the email address at the end of this Privacy Policy.

Where we rely on your consent as the lawful basis for processing your personal information or need to process it in connection with a contract in place directly with you, you may ask us to provide you with a copy of that information in a structured data file. We will provide this to you electronically in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable form, such as a CSV file.
You can ask us to send your personal information directly to another service provider, and we will do so if this is technically possible. We may not provide you with a copy of your personal information if this concerns other individuals or we have another lawful reason to withhold that information.
