It does not include data which does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person or to personal data rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject is no longer identifiable. 3.2 The extent and type of personal data that we may collect from you will ultimately depend on your relationship with us (whether as a customer, driver or a website visitor). We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows (however note that certain of the categories below may not apply to you if you are a driver, customer or website visitor):

Identity Data includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier. When you email, phone, live chat or otherwise, we may collect information such as your first name, last name, email address, and phone number. In certain circumstances, we may also require you to provide us with an image of yourself.

Third Parties and Information we receive from other sources. We may receive information about you if you use any of the other websites and/or applications we operate or through the services we provide.

11. YOUR RIGHTS

11.1 Restrict When you submit information via our website(s) and/or application(s), you may be given options to restrict our use of your data. We aim to give you strong controls on our use of your data (including the ability to opt-out of receiving emails from us which you may do by unsubscribing using the links provided above in this Privacy Policy). 11.2 Your duty to inform us of changes It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us. 11.3 Your rights in connection with personal information Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.

Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).

Object to processing of your personal information 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. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact our representative Privacy Manager (whose details are contained in paragraph 2 of this Privacy Policy) in writing. 11.4 No fee usually required You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances. 11.5 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 the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. 11.6 Right to withdraw consent In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact our representative Privacy Manager. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your application and, subject to paragraph 4.7), we will dispose of your personal data securely. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law. 11.7 If you would like to exercise any of your legal rights, please: (a) contact us at [info@crownsds.com]; (b) let us have the information that we ask for to enable us to identify you; (c) let us have proof of your identity and address (e.g. a copy of your driving licence or passport and a recent utility or credit card bill); and (d) let us know the information to which your request relates.
