  • Request a correction to your information, if this is incorrect.
  • Request erasure, normally known as the ‘right to be forgotten’. That is to ask us to remove all of the information we hold about you if there is not a good, fair reason for us to continue processing it.
  • Object to the processing of your personal information where we have relied on a legitimate interest to do so. You can unsubscribe from all communications from us at any time, using the following form: https://musicinthepark.live/unsubscribe/
  • Request the restriction of processing of you information. This allows you to ask us to stop processing the information we have.
