In general, we shall seek to process the individual’s request within ten (10) business days of receiving it.

Access to and Correction of Personal Data

  1.

Protection of Personal Data

  1. To safeguard the individual’s personal data from unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks, we have introduced appropriate administrative, physical and technical measures such as up-to-date antivirus protection, encryption and the use of privacy filters to secure all storage and transmission of personal data by us, and disclosing personal data both internally and to our authorised third-party service providers and agents only on a need-to-know basis.
