 Your Rights In Your Capacity As Data Subject

We believe that exercise of the rights guaranteed to data subjects under GDPR enhances the trust of our customers and their representatives that we process personal data in a lawful manner. Thus, you are entitled to exercise the following rights:

  • Right of access to data: The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. This right is associated with the right of gaining access to such data and obtaining the related information.
  • Right to rectification: The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate, incomplete or outdated personal data concerning him or her, regardless of the reason of the occurrence of the inconsistency.
  • Right to erasure: The data subject has the right to request that we discontinue processing and erase all personal data, provided that the conditions set out by GDPR have been satisfied. This applies in particular where personal data are no longer needed for the purposes for which they have been obtained, or the data subject has successfully objected to the processing.
  • Right to restriction of processing: The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing if, for example, there are doubts as to the accuracy of the personal data, for a period allowing for the verification of the accuracy of the personal data.
  • Right to data portability: Data subjects have the right to request the transmission of their personal data that are being subjected to processing in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller or to themselves. The exercise of this right does not affect the provision or delivery of services.
  • Right to object: Data subjects have the right to object to processing of personal data that are being processed on legal grounds of legitimate interest, including to object to processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes on the grounds of legitimate interest. In such a case, we will no longer process personal data, unless we prove the necessity of the processing through the proportionality test.
