This includes through physical, procedural and technical measures, including restricting access to your personal information to those individuals who need it to perform their job.

You may ask us to correct your personal information that we hold.

In most cases, we will comply with any request you make. However, if we ever decide not to update that personal information, we will provide you with a written notice explaining our decision.
