1. Right to access your data

You have the right to ask us if we process your personal data, and if we do, you have the right to inspect these data in the form of a copy. When we offer you access to your data, we will also provide you with additional information, such as the purpose of our data processing, the categories of personal data being processed and any other information you may need to properly exercise this right.

2. Right to rectify your data

You have the right to rectify your details if they are incomplete and/or contain errors. Upon request, we will correct inaccurate personal data and complete incomplete personal data, taking into account the purposes for which they are processed. This may include issuing a supplementary statement.

3. Right to delete your data

You also have the right to have your personal data deleted. This means that your data will be deleted by us and, where possible, by all data controllers to whom we have previously disclosed your data. The deletion of your personal data only takes place in certain cases. These cases are prescribed by law and are listed in Article 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These include situations in which data have been unlawfully processed. Due to the way in which we organise certain services, it may take some time for backups to be deleted.

4. Right to restrict the processing of your data

You have the right to have the processing of your personal data restricted. This means that we will suspend the processing of your data for a certain period of time. Circumstances that may give rise to such a request include situations in which the accuracy of your personal data is disputed, and assessing this would take some time. This right does not prevent us from continuing to store your personal data. We will let you know when the restriction is lifted.

5. Right to transfer your data

Your right to data transfer means that you may ask us to obtain your personal data, if technically possible, in a structured, common and machine-readable form and to transfer it to another data controller.
