4. What is Personal Data?
   Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) (the “GDPR”) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier’.
   
   Personal data is, in simpler terms, any information about you that enables you to be identified. Personal data covers obvious information such as your name and contact details, but it also covers less obvious information such as identification numbers, electronic location data, and other online identifiers.
    

5. What Are My Rights?
   Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which we will always work to uphold:
   a) The right to be informed about our collection and use of your personal data. This Privacy Policy should tell you everything you need to know, but you can always contact us to find out more or to ask any questions. 
   b) The right to access the personal data we hold about you. Part 13 will tell you how to do this.
   c) The right to have your personal data rectified if any of your personal data held by us is inaccurate or incomplete. 
   d) The right to be forgotten, i.e. the right to ask us to delete or otherwise dispose of any of your personal data that we have. 
   e) The right to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data.
   f) The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.
   g) The right to withdraw consent. This means that, if we are relying on your consent as the legal basis for using your personal data, you are free to withdraw that consent at any time.
   h) The right to data portability. This means that, if you have provided personal data to us directly, we are using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business in many cases.
   i) Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling. Please note that we do not use your personal data in this way.
   
   For more information about our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact us using the details provided above.
   
   Further information about your rights can also be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s Office or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.
