9. Your rights

9.1   In this section we have summarised the rights that you have under data protection law. Some of the rights are complex, and not all of the details have been included in our summaries.

However, we will only otherwise process it: with your consent; for the establishment, in the interests of safeguarding and/or child protection, exercise or defence of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.

9.7   You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for: the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.
