h) The right to data portability. This means that if you have provided us with personal data directly, and we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business in many cases.
i) Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. Your personal data will not be used in this way.
If you would like to receive further information about the use of your personal data or exercise the rights described above, please contact us using the contact information provided in section 2.

In addition to your rights under the data protection laws described in section 5, when you submit personal data via Our Website, you have options to restrict the use of your personal data. We particularly aim to provide strong control over the use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from us, which you can do by unsubscribing via the links found in our emails).

Our website provides access to certain areas without the need to provide personal data. However, access to all features and functionalities available on our website may require providing certain data or granting permission for data collection.

If you would like to know what personal data we store about you, you can request from us details of your personal data and a copy of it (if we hold any such personal data). This is called a “data subject access request”.

All access requests must be submitted in writing and sent to the email or postal address provided in section 2.

Data subjects’ requests for access are generally free of charge. If your request is “manifestly unfounded or excessive” (for example, if you make repetitive requests), we may charge a fee to cover our administrative costs associated with responding.

We will respond to the data subject access request within 28 days. We generally aim to provide a comprehensive response within this time frame, including a copy of your personal data if applicable. However, in certain cases, especially if your request is more complex, it may take up to three months from the date of receipt of your request. We will keep you fully informed of our progress.
