the purpose(s) for which we are processing your information;
the categories of personal information we hold about you
the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed;

We will usually respond to a request from you to exercise your rights within one month of receipt, but it might take longer if your request is particularly complex or if you have made a number of requests.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights).
