h) The right to data portability. This means that, if you have provided personal data to Us directly, We are using it with your consent or for the performance of a contract, and that data is processed using automated means, you can ask Us for a copy of that personal data to re-use with another service or business in many cases.
For more information about Our use of your personal data or exercising your rights as outlined above, please contact Us using the details provided in Part 2.
