In a few circumstances you reserve the right to request to delete your information without undue delay. Circumstances of this kind include: (i) if the information is no longer necessary in relation to the purpose(s) for which they were collected/otherwise processed; (ii) if you withdraw consent to consent-based data processing; (iii) if you object to the data processing under certain appropriate rules of applicable data protection laws; (iv) if the data processing is for direct marketing purpose(s); and (v) if your information has been unlawfully processed.
