11.2  Please note that if your Personal Data has been provided to us by a third party (e.g. a policyholder who has nominated you as beneficiary or the life assured), you should contact such party directly to make any queries, feedback, and access and correction requests to Great Eastern on your behalf.

11.3  You may refuse to give, or may withdraw, your consent for us to collect, use or disclose your Personal Data and/or your insured persons' Personal Data as provided under the Act by giving us reasonable notice, so long as there are no legal or contractual restrictions preventing you from doing so.
