Your personal information may also be processed by other organisations on our behalf for the purposes outlined above.

Prevention of Fraud

Hoistech Ltd. reserves the right to co-operate with local, national or international law enforcement authorities in the investigation of improper or unlawful activities.

You have the right to request a copy of any personal information we hold about you.

We will endeavour to comply with such requests within one month, but where any such request is unusually onerous, we may extend that time by a further two months. In fulfilling such a request, we may request a copy of ID to confirm your identity.
