You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us using the details provided below. Withdrawal of consent will not affect processing already carried out lawfully before the withdrawal, and certain data may still be retained or processed where required by law, for medical record-keeping, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or other lawful purposes.
