b. Accessing personal information.
You can request details of your personal information we hold using the request information tool inside your profile on the Site.

- you have successfully objected to the processing of your personal information (see below);
- your personal information was processed unlawfully; or
- we are required to delete your personal information to comply with our legal obligations.
In general you can delete anything in your profile at anytime on your own simply by logging into the Site. Because we give you that freedom of control you are primarily responsible for deleting information you would like deleted. If there is a need for us to delete something you can’t access, we will review requests on a case by case basis and we might not be able to comply with your request if we need to process your personal information:
- for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
- to comply with our legal obligations;

- you dispute the accuracy of your personal information;
- your personal information was processed unlawfully and you request a limitation on processing, rather than a deletion of your personal information;
- we no longer need to process your personal information, but you need your personal information in connection with a legal claim; or
- you object to the processing of your personal information based on our legitimate interests pending verification as to whether we have an overriding legitimate ground for such processing.
To the extent needed, we may still keep some of your data to ensure we comply with your request to limit processing, or for other legal purposes.
e. Withdrawing consent.
We primarily rely on legitimate business interests to process your data, but to the extent we use consent to process your data, you have the right to withdraw any consent you may have given us at any time. We will comply with your request promptly.
If you withdraw your consent, we might not be able to provide some of our products and services to you. At any point, you have the right to object to processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes and we will promptly comply with your request.
7. Security.
We have put in place appropriate security measures to protect your personal information from being accidentally lost, misused or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. These include technical, administrative and physical security measures to ensure that any information we collect is stored and processed securely.
For example, for Digital Tools that require personal or sensitive data to be collected or displayed, a Secured Socket Layer (SSL) connection is required, to ensure that the data is encrypted as it is transferred to the browser. All credit card payments are processed using PCI compliant technology, to ensure that your credit card number is securely passed to the merchant/service provider. We do not store your credit card details.
We cannot guarantee that the security measures we implement in connection with the operation of the site will absolutely prevent others from accessing or acquiring any information that you provide while using the site. You can help us protect your personal information by properly protecting your password and remembering to sign out of your account and close your browser window when you finish visiting our site, especially if you are on a shared or public computer.
