Accessing your information

If you want to know what personal data We have about you, you can ask us for details of that personal data and for a copy of it (where any such personal data is held). This is known as a “subject access request”.

In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date We receive your request.
