Depending on your place of residence and applicable laws, you may have certain rights with respect to personal information about you, such as the following rights, which may apply in certain circumstances and subject to certain restrictions:
Please note that these rights are not absolute, and are subject to certain restrictions and exemptions. For example, the right to erasure of personal information will not apply where we have a legitimate reason to continue to hold such data.

Please also understand that we may hold information about you on behalf of one of our clients. In those cases, we may not be able to accommodate your request to exercise rights, and we will direct you or your request to the business that controls the personal information. In those circumstances, we are not the controller of your personal data and queries should be directed to the client organization.
