Please note that you will need to provide Training Express with evidence of your identity.

Request correction: You can ask Training Express to change or complete any inaccurate or incomplete personal information held about you.

Request erasure: You can ask Training Express to delete your personal information where it is no longer necessary for Training Express to use it, you have withdrawn consent, or where Training Express has no lawful basis for keeping it. 

Right to object: You can object to Training Express processing of your personal information where Training Express is relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where Training Express is processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

Request restriction: You can ask Training Express to restrict our use of your personal information in the following circumstances: a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where Training Express’s use of the data is unlawful but you do not want Training Express to erase it; (c) where you need Training Express to hold the data even if Training Express no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) if you have objected to our use of your data but Training Express needs to verify whether Training Express has overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request transfer: You can ask us to provide you or a third party with some of the personal information that Training Express holds about you in a structured, commonly used, electronic form, so it can be easily transferred.

Withdraw consent: If you have given Training Express your consent to use personal information (for example, for marketing), you can withdraw your consent at any time. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, Training Express may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Training Express tries to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take Training Express longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, Training Express will notify you and keep you updated.
