As a user, you have the right to rectify any inaccurate personal data we hold about you. If you believe there's an error in the personal data we have about you, please let us know and we'll fix it as quickly as possible.
This means updating our data as soon as we have been informed about an inaccuracy, ensuring that the personal data we hold and process is always up to date and correct.
6. Erasure of Personal Data
You've got the 'right to be forgotten', that is, to have your personal data erased under certain conditions. If you'd like us to remove your personal data from our records, please get in touch with us.
We will promptly act on your request, subject to certain legal obligations which may require us to retain your data for a specified period. This right is subject to exceptions but is generally applicable if the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, or if you withdraw consent for its processing.
7. Restricting Processing of Personal Data
You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. This limitation can apply in certain circumstances, such as when the accuracy of the personal data is contested.
In this event, processing will be restricted until we can verify the accuracy of the personal data or until it is necessary for legal reasons.
8. Data Portability
You have the right to data portability. That implies you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transfer that data to another party without any hindrance from the Company.
This enhances the control you have over your personal data, enabling you to transfer, copy, or move your data easily between our IT environment and others.
