YOUR PERSONAL DATA RIGHTS AND CONTROLS

Many privacy laws extend rights to individuals over their Personal Data, such as the GDPR and POPIA.

Some rights only apply when the Group uses a certain ‘legal basis’ to process your Personal Data. We explain each legal basis in conjunction with the purpose for which the Group processes your Personal Data, below under “WHAT, HOW AND WHY WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA”.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

Please note that 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 for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
