How to exercise your rights

You may exercise your rights by sending an email or request in writing using our contact details.

Please provide your first name, last name, email address or address of permanent residence in your request. We will be unable to comply with your request if you fail to provide these details. We require this data to verify your identity and to ensure we do not provide your personal data to an authorised party.

To err is human. If you believe that our company is processing your personal data that is incorrect, you may exercise this right in the settings contained in the “My account” section of your account or request that we make such correction. We want to process the correct personal data, and therefore kindly request that you exercise this right if you move or there is any other change to the personal data that is important for our arrangement.

Right to deletion (right to be forgotten)

You have the right to deletion of the your personal data we process, if the following conditions are met and statutory exemptions are not applied:

  • you withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data and there is no legal basis for its processing
  • you object on the basis of a specific situation to the processing of your personal data, processed based on a legitimate interest, and the legitimate reasons for processing do not outweigh such request or if you object to processing for direct marketing purposes
  • personal data is processed in an unlawful manner.

If your personal data was published and you exercise the right to deletion, we will also delete such published personal data. We will also inform other recipients of your personal data that you have exercised the right to be forgotten and that they should therefore delete all references to your personal data if technically feasible with respect to available technology and the cost of implementing such measures.

If you delete your account, we will then delete the data where feasible, and then delete the account within 10 days. For technical reasons (e.g. to back up data), some data may only be deleted after an extended period of time, which should not exceed 60 days.

Right to restrict processing

  • You also have the right to request temporary restriction of processing in the following cases:
  • if you believe that we are processing incorrect personal data, then for the duration of the period until the accuracy of such personal data is verified
  • the processing of your personal data is unlawful and you decide to restrict processing rather than deleting such personal data
    we no longer need your personal data for the purpose of processing, but such data is necessary for your own purposes to demonstrate, exercise or otherwise defend your legal entitlements
  • if you object to the processing of your personal data, until such time that it can be verified that the legitimate reasons for processing personal data outweigh your legitimate interests

Right to data transmission

You have the right to obtain the personal data that we process based on consent and/or a contract and that we process using automated means, in a structured, commonly-used and machine-readable format. Such data may be transmitted to another party if technically feasible and we will transmit your personal data directly to the controller of your choosing upon your request.

Right to object

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal  based on our legitimate interest for reasons concerning your specific situation, including the right to object to profiling based on our legitimate interest.

We would be pleased if you first contacted us with any such information to give us the opportunity to take corrective action and resolve any problem that may occur.

Confidentiality

Please allow us to assure you that our employees and cooperating parties who process your personal data are obliged to maintain the confidentiality of personal data and relevant security measures, the disclosure of which could put the security of your personal data at risk.
