Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.

In relation to the operation of Contract Hire and Rental vehicles, our customer is the controller and, insofar as we and any contractors have access to any personal data, we are their processors. It is the responsibility of our customers to ensure that they have complied in full with their obligations under data protection law in relation to the operation of these devices, including minimising the amount of data processed and provided to us, having a lawful justification for their use and providing privacy notices in relation to them.
