You also have the right to request a review of decisions made solely on the basis of automated processing of your personal data that affect your interests, including decisions aimed at personal, professional, consumer and credit profiling and/or aspects of your personality.

We may need to ask you for specific information to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or exercise your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to anyone who is not entitled to receive it. We may also contact you to request further information in relation to your request in order to expedite our response. We attempt to respond to all legitimate requests within 5 business days. Occasionally, it may take longer than 5 days if your request is particularly complex or if you have made multiple requests.
