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.

In this case, Training Express will notify you and keep you updated.
