This will vary depending on the relationship we have with you. We will always aim to make clear which personal data it is necessary for you to provide and which personal data is optional. However, if you are unsure as to whether you are required to provide us with any particular piece of personal data please ask us.

If we have disclosed your information to a third party we will also contact them to inform them of the rectification.
Right to withdraw your consent – Where we are processing your data because you have consented to us doing so, you have the right to withdraw your consent to us processing your data at any time.
