If you reside in the EEA, please refer to this page for details on your rights regarding your Personal Data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address below.
13.3 Access rights The Company may verify the accuracy of Personal Data being processed about you. Where applicable, you may access your Personal Data. The Company will provide an electronic copy of the Personal Data currently being processed and may charge a reasonable fee for additional copies. The right to access Personal Data must not conflict with the rights and freedoms of others. If a request would be detrimental to the rights or freedoms of another person, the Company may refuse or limit its compliance with that request.
13.4 Right to rectification The Company may rectify inaccurate Personal Data at any time. You have the right to request that incomplete Personal Data relating to you be corrected, taking into account the purpose for which it is processed.
13.5 Right to Erasure You may request erasure of your Personal Data in the following circumstances: (a) the Personal Data are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected or processed; (b) you withdraw consent and no legal basis for processing exists; (c) you object to the processing of your Personal Data based on a reason specific to your situation, where that processing relies on legitimate interests pursued by Us or by a third party; (e) the Personal Data are unlawfully processed; or (f) erasure is required to comply with a legal obligation applicable to the company. This right does not apply where processing is necessary (a) to comply with a legal obligation under European Union law or Member State law; or (b) to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.
13.6 Processing restrictions If you have concerns about the accuracy of your Personal Data, you may request that the Company restrict its processing. Where such a restriction is requested, your Personal Data may only be retained with your consent, to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights, to protect the rights of another individual, or where there is a substantial public interest within the European Union or a Member State.
13.7 Right to data portability Where processing is carried out by automated means and is based on your consent or a contract to which you are a party, you have the right to receive your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used format. You may also request that your Personal Data be transferred directly to another controller, where technically feasible. Exercising your right to data portability does not affect your right to erasure. The right to data portability must not adversely affect the rights or freedoms of others.
13.8 Right to challenge You have the right at any time to object to any processing of your Personal Data that is based on legitimate interests pursued by the Company or a third party. This right is not limited to profiling based on those interests. If we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing, we may continue unless you establish that your rights, freedoms, or interests override those grounds, or that the processing affects the exercise, establishment, or defense of legal rights. Regarding direct marketing, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your Personal Data.
13.9 Right to Refuse Consent You may withdraw your consent for Us to process your Personal Data at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out on the basis of your consent before its withdrawal. You have the right to lodge a complaint with your relevant supervisory authority. Within the European Union, you may submit a complaint to a supervisory authority established by a Member State to protect the fundamental rights of individuals in relation to the processing of Personal Data. Please note that the laws of the European Union and its Member States may limit the rights described in this section 13.
We will respond to requests made under Section 13 of this agreement within one month of receipt. Where the complexity or volume of requests requires it, this period may be extended by up to two months. We will notify you of any such extension, along with the reasons for it, within one month of receiving your request.
Subject to Section 13 of the law, any information you request under your Section 13 rights will be provided free of charge. If a request is unjustified or excessive — particularly where requests are repeated — we may charge a reasonable fee to cover administrative costs, or we may decline to act.
13.12 If we have doubts about the identity of the person submitting a request, we may ask that person to provide reasonable verification of their identity.
