information. That additional information includes details of the purposes of
the processing, the categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of

carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority
vested in us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a
third party. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the
personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the
processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the
processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable
format. However, this right does not apply where it would adversely affect the
rights and freedoms of others.

consider that our processing of your personal data infringes data protection
laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
responsible for data protection. You may do so in the EU member state of your
habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged
infringement.
6.12 To the extent
that the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is consent, you
have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect
