Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us. Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).

You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights).
This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
We will respond to your request without undue delay, but certainly within One Month after and upon satisfactory verification of your identity.
