Sending personal information outside Europe

6. YOUR RIGHTS
You have the following rights over the way we process personal data relating to you. We aim to respond without undue delay, and within one month at the latest. To make a request, please see our contact details at section 1.
Ask for a copy of your data and have it deleted, or inaccuracies corrected
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to have data deleted or any inaccuracies corrected. We will use reasonable efforts to the extent required by law to supply, correct or delete personal information held about you on our files (and with any third parties to whom it has been disclosed to). If your request is unusually complex and likely to take longer than a month, we will let you know as soon as we can and tell you how long we think it will take.
There are occasional situations where data protection law requires or permits us to withhold some information (such as where it would involve disclosing information about someone else or information that is commercially sensitive) or permits us to charge for the information requested. If these circumstances apply, we will explain this to you.
Object to us processing your data
You can ask us to restrict, stop processing, or to delete your personal data if:
- You consented to RDSGL processing the personal data, and have withdrawn that consent;
- RDSGL no longer needs to process that personal data for the reason it was collected;
- RDSGL is processing that personal data in order to pursue a legitimate interest, you don’t agree with that processing, and there is no overriding legitimate interest for us to continue processing it;
- The personal data was unlawfully processed; or
- You need the personal data to be deleted in order to comply with a legal obligation.
If we are unable to carry out your request, we will explain it to you. Please be aware that in exercising this right, it is likely that you will need to close your account with us and stop using our services. If you are unhappy with our decision on this, you have the right to complain to the Data Protection Supervisory Authority.
Make a complaint to a Supervisory Authority
If you do not agree with the way we have processed your data or responded to your concerns, an alternative is to submit a complaint to a Data Protection Supervisory Authority, which for UK customers will be the Information Commissioner’s Office.
7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
We will cease use of your data for marketing purposes no more than two years after your last transaction with us. We typically retain your data for seven years from when our relationship ends to satisfy our regulatory obligations.
8. USE OF OUR SERVICE BY CHILDREN
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 18. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with information without their consent, he or she should contact us at Information.Centre@rank.com. We will delete such information from our files within a reasonable time.
9. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA SAFE?
We will take all reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss or misuse of your personal information. Please be aware that, although we endeavour to provide reasonable security for information we process and maintain, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches.
