          Your Rights

          Subject to the EU and UK Privacy Laws, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, and control the way in which and what personal data we store and process about you, as set out below. To exercise these rights and controls, please contact us at privacy@rubiconcarbon.com.

              • Access: You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal data that we hold and process about you free of charge, however we may charge a “reasonable fee”, if we think that your request is excessive, to help us cover the costs of locating the information you have requested.

              • Correction: You may notify us of changes to your personal data if the information we hold and process about you is inaccurate or it needs to be updated.

              • Deletion: If you think that we should not be holding or processing your personal data any more, you may request that we delete it. Please note that the right to deletion is not absolute and it may not always be possible to delete personal data on request, including where the personal data must be retained to comply with a legal obligation. In addition, deletion of personal data may result in the inability for us to fulfil the purposes described in this EU and UK Privacy Statement.

              • Restrictions on use: You may request that we stop processing your personal data (other than storing it), if: (i) you contest the accuracy of it (until the accuracy is verified); (ii) you believe the processing is against the law; (iii) you believe that we no longer need your personal data for the purposes for which it was collected, but you still need your personal data to establish or defend a legal claim; or (iv) you object to the processing, and we are verifying whether our legitimate grounds to process your personal data, override your own rights.

              • Object: You have the right to object to processing, including: (i) for direct marketing; (ii) for research or statistical purposes; or (iii) where processing is based on legitimate interests.

              • Portability: If you wish to transfer the personal data that we hold and process about you on the legal ground of contractual necessity to another organisation (and certain conditions are satisfied), you may ask us to do so, and we will send it directly if we have the technical means.

              • Withdrawl of consent: If you previously gave us, and we rely on, your consent (by a clear affirmative action) to allow us to process your personal data for a particular purpose, but you no longer wish to consent to us doing so, you can contact us to let us know that you withdraw that consent.

            We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
