8. Access and correction
You have the right to request access to the personal information I hold about you, and to ask me to correct any information that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. To make such a request, please contact me at annie@anniegibbins.com.
I will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe. In some circumstances I may be unable to provide access — for example, where doing so would unreasonably affect the privacy of other individuals, or where required by law to refuse access. I will explain the reasons if I cannot grant your request.
