• Right to withdraw consent: In circumstances where we are relying on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

• What we may need from you: We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
