2. YOUR RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH PERSONAL INFORMATION 

2.1 In certain circumstances, you have the following under the Data Protection Legislation. You can exercise them by contacting the DPO at DPO@antser.com. They do not apply in all circumstances and we will explain in writing if you exercise a right that in our view does not apply:

iii. The right to have your personal information corrected if it is inaccurate and to have

incomplete personal information completed.

2.2 Data Protection Legislation provides other rights, such as right to “data portability” and rights relating to automated decision-making. We do not list those rights here because we do not think they apply in the context of our website. We do not process your personal data automatically on our website based on your consent or for performance of a contract, and our website is not programmed to make automated decisions using your personal data.

ii. Our response will be jargon free and in plain English.

iii. You will not normally be charged for our response to your requests. We can lawfully charge a reasonable fee (or refuse to comply) if your request access is unfounded or excessive.

2.5 If you have provided us with your postal address we may send you information about our work. However, you may instruct us at any time not to process your personal information for marketing purposes. In practice, we will usually either ask for your consent to our use of your personal data for stated marketing purposes or we will provide you with an opportunity to opt out of the use of your personal data for stated marketing purposes.
