Your Rights

You have a number of legal rights in respect of your personal data. These include:

The right to receive a copy of the personal data that we hold about you. The same right applies to any other person whose personal data you provide to us.

This will ensure we only provide information to the correct person. We normally expect to respond to requests within 28 days of receiving them.
