- The right to access the personal data I hold about you. Part 13 will tell You how to do this.

Please note that I do not control the activities of such third parties, nor the data that they collect and use themselves, and We advise You to check the privacy policies of any such third parties.

(a) if I sell, transfer, or merge parts of My business or assets, Your personal data may be transferred to a third party. Any new owner of My business may continue to use Your personal data in the same way(s) that I have used it, as specified in this Privacy Policy, and

- Control of personal data
In addition to Your rights under the Data Protection Legislation, set out in Part 5, when You submit personal data via My Site, You may be given options to restrict My use of Your personal data.

- Withholding of Personal Data
You may access certain areas of My Site without having to provide any personal data at all. However, to use all features and functions available on My Site, You may be required to submit or allow for the collection of certain data.
You may restrict Our use of Cookies. For more information, see Part 14.
- Access to Personal Data
If You want to know what personal data I have about You, You can ask Me 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”.
All subject access requests should be made in writing and sent to the email or postal addresses shown in Part 15.
There is not normally any charge for a subject access request. If Your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if You make repetitive requests) a fee may be charged to cover My administrative costs in responding.
I aim to respond to Your subject access request within 10 working days and, in any case, not more than one month of receiving it. Normally, I aim to provide as complete a response as possible, including a copy of Your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if Your request is more complex, more time may be required. In that case I will acknowledge Your request within 10 working days of receiving it and I will endeavour to provide You with a full response within three months from receipt of the request.
