  personal data 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 data where you
have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).

• Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate

  which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to
  object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
