13. Anonymity
It is your right to be dealt with anonymously, provided that is it lawful and practicable. We will try to accommodate a request for anonymity wherever possible, however, in some circumstances, this may prevent us from providing you with the full range of our services and it may prevent you from experiencing all features and benefits of the services we provide.
14. Accessing and correcting personal information
You can access your information by asking us. Occasionally, we may need to refuse your request to access information, for example, where granting you access would infringe someone else’s privacy. When you request access, we will ask you to provide some form of identification so that we can ensure that you are the person to whom the information relates. In some cases, we may also ask you to pay a reasonable fee to cover the cost of access.
If you think there is something wrong with the information we hold about you we’ll try to correct it if it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. If you are worried that we have given incorrect information to others, you can ask us to tell them about the correction. We’ll try and help where we can – if we can’t, then we’ll let you know in writing.
If you have a question about this privacy policy or want to access your personal information you can contact us at admin@peoplogica.com.
