As a user, under certain conditions, you are granted rights under data protection laws regarding your personal data.

Your Rights Include:

  • Right to Correction: You have the right to request correction of your personal data in our possession. This helps you rectify any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold. However, we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide.
  • Right to Erasure: You can ask us to erase your personal data where there's no valid reason for us to continue processing it. You also have the right to request data deletion in situations where you have objected to processing (as detailed below), if we processed your information unlawfully, or if local law mandates the erasure of your personal data. Please note that there might be legal reasons preventing us from fulfilling an erasure request, which we will communicate to you if applicable at the time of your request.
  • Right to Object to Processing: This applies when we are processing your personal data based on legitimate interests (ours or a third party's) and you have a particular situation that motivates you to object to processing on this basis, as it affects your fundamental rights and freedoms. This right also applies if we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some instances, we may demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing your information which supersede your rights and freedoms.
  • Right to Request Restriction of Processing: You may request that we suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
    • To verify the data's accuracy.
    • If our data use is unlawful but you oppose data erasure.
    • When you need us to retain the data for legal claims, even if we no longer require it.
    • If you have objected to our data use, pending verification of our legitimate grounds.
  • Right to Data Portability: You can request the transfer of your personal data to you or a third party. We will provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. This right applies only to automated information for which you initially gave consent or that we used to perform a contract with you.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. However, this won't affect the lawfulness of any processing conducted prior to your withdrawal. Withdrawal of consent may mean we are unable to provide certain services, and we will advise you if this is the case when you withdraw your consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

No Fee Usually Required

You will not be required to pay a fee to access your personal data or to exercise any other rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee for requests that are clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with such requests.

What We May Need From You
