Data Protection and Privacy Notice

Your right to restrict (limit) what we use your data for

You have a right to ask us to restrict what we use your data for when;

  • you have told us that your data is inaccurate and we need to restrict its use until we have considered this
  • where you have objected to its use (see below) and we are considering your request
  • when there is no legal reason for us to use it but you do not want it to be deleted altogether
  • where we no longer need the data but you require this for a legal case

If we have disclosed your data to others then we will inform them about the restriction unless it is impossible or too difficult for us. We will also inform you if we decide to lift the restriction at any time.
