Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you at the time of your request. If you wish to request the deletion of your personal data, please email us at info@imperialhotels.co.uk or privacy@imperialhotels.co.uk. We may ask you to provide ID documentation in order for us to verify your identity. Once your identity has been verified, we will review your request and notify you whether we can comply with your request. - If we are unable to comply with your request, we will notify you of the specific legal reasons why. - If we are able to comply with your request, we will either delete your personal data or anonymise your personal data such that you will no longer be identifiable from such data.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. Request restriction of processing. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. 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. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. You will not have to pay a fee to exercise these rights, however we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact privacy@imperialhotels.co.uk. What we may need from you 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). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
