10.12       To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

10.13       You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data by written notice to us.
