Rights you can exercise in relation to the Personal Information
Based on the law applicable to the use of your Personal Information, you may have rights that you can exercise in relation to your Personal Information. Note that in some cases, we are not required to completely comply with your request, as such rights may be conditional or because we have to balance your rights against our rights and obligations to process your Personal Information and to protect the rights and freedoms of others. A number of the rights you have in relation to your Personal Information, as applicable in the European Economic Area, the State of California, or other US or international geographic jurisdictions, are explained below:
Right of access
You may be entitled to a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you and to learn details about how we use it. Your Personal Information will usually be provided to you digitally. We may require you to prove your identity before providing the requested information.
Right to rectification
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate and complete. However, if you believe this is not the case, you may have the right to request that any incomplete or inaccurate Personal Information that we process about you is amended.
Right to erasure
You may have the right to ask us to erase your Personal Information, for example, where the Personal Information we collected is no longer necessary for the original purpose, where Personal Information has become obsolete, or where you withdraw your consent (if we are processing your Personal Information based on consent). However, this will need to be balanced against other factors. For example, we may not be able to comply with your request due to certain legal or regulatory obligations.
Right to restriction of processing
You may be entitled to ask us to (temporarily) stop using your Personal Information, for example, where you think that the Personal Information we hold about you may be inaccurate or where you think that we no longer need to use your Personal Information.
Right to data portability
You may have the right to ask that we transfer Personal Information that you have provided to us to a third party of your choice. This right can only be exercised when you have provided the Personal Information to us, and when we are processing that data by automated means based on your consent or in order to perform our obligations under a contract with you.
Right to object
You may have the right to object to processing which is based on our legitimate interests. In case of the processing of Personal Information for marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time. When you ask us to stop using your Personal Information for marketing purposes, we will immediately cease to use your Personal Information. For other purposes based on our legitimate interests, we will no longer process the Personal Information on that basis when you file an objection based on your grounds relating to your particular situation, unless we have a compelling legitimate ground for the processing. Note, however, that we may not be able to provide certain services or benefits if we are unable to process the necessary Personal Information for that purpose.
Rights relating to automated decision-making
You may have the right not to be subjected to automated decision-making, including profiling, which produces a legal effect for you or has a similarly significant effect. If you believe you have been subject to an automated decision and do not agree with the outcome, you can contact us using the details below and ask us to review the decision.
Right to withdraw consent
We may ask for your consent to process your Personal Information in specific cases. When we do this, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. We will stop the further processing as soon as possible after the withdrawal of your consent. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing before consent was withdrawn.
