EU and UK residents (GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation gives you the following rights regarding personal data we hold about you:
- Access — request a copy of the personal data we process about you.
- Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure — ask us to delete your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Restriction — ask us to limit how we use your data.
- Portability — receive your data in a portable format where applicable.
- Object — object to processing based on legitimate interests, and to processing for direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent — where we rely on consent (for example, certain cookies), you may withdraw it at any time.
- Complain — lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Where we process personal data, our legal bases are typically your consent (for non-essential cookies and advertising), our legitimate interests (in operating and improving the site), and compliance with legal obligations.
California residents (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, gives you the right to:
- Know what categories of personal information are collected and how they are used.
- Delete personal information we have collected, subject to exceptions.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, including sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising.
- Non-discrimination — you will not receive different service for exercising your rights.
Do not sell or share my personal information
We do not sell your personal information for money. However, the use of third-party advertising cookies may be considered "sharing" for targeted advertising under some laws. You can limit this by managing cookies in your browser and by opting out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info. See our Cookie Policy for more.
How to exercise your rights
Submit a request through our contact page and tell us which right you wish to exercise. To protect your data, we may need to verify your request before acting on it. We aim to respond within the time frame required by the applicable law (generally one month under the GDPR and 45 days under the CCPA, which may be extended where permitted). An authorised agent may submit a request on your behalf with appropriate proof of authorisation.
