Right to Data PortabilityWhere processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (e.g. CSV).
Right to ObjectYou may object at any time to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling. You may also object to direct marketing at any time, and we must stop immediately.
Right to Withdraw ConsentWhere processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

If this changes, we will update this Privacy Policy and notify you accordingly, and we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place as required by UK GDPR Article 22.

12. Children's Privacy

Our Website and services are directed at businesses and professionals, not at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18.

13. Third-Party Links and Websites

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites, including our LinkedIn company page, industry bodies, and regulatory authorities. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of those external sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit before providing any personal data.

The inclusion of a link to a third-party website does not constitute an endorsement of that site or its content by Eagle Fire.
