We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. 

7. YOUR RIGHTS AS A DATA SUBJECT

You have certain rights under applicable legislation, and in particular under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 – the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Additional information regarding GDPR and your rights can be found on the website of the European Commission. 

• Right to information and access – You have the right to be informed about the processing of your personal data, including the source of the data when it is not obtained directly from you. This Privacy Policy is intended to provide such information. You may contact us at any time with further questions.

• Right to rectification – You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete personal data concerning you. You may also request restriction of processing. We encourage you to notify us of any changes to your personal data or if you do not wish it to be used as described in this Privacy Policy.

• Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) – You have the right to request erasure of your personal data where one of the following grounds applies:

• the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected;

• you withdraw consent where processing is based on consent and there is no other legal ground;

• you object to processing for direct marketing purposes;

• the data has been processed unlawfully;

• erasure is required to comply with a legal obligation.

Requests for erasure will be fulfilled without undue delay, unless retention is required for: 

• exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;

• compliance with a legal obligation under EU or national law;

• performance of a task carried out in the public interest;

• archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research, or statistical purposes;

• establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing and right to object – you have the right to request restriction of processing where: 

• you contest the accuracy of the data;

• processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure;

• data is no longer required for processing but is needed for legal claims.

You also have the right to object to processing in certain circumstances, including withdrawal of consent. Exercising this right may affect the provision of certain services, in which case you will be informed of the consequences. 

• Right to data portability – Where processing is based on consent or contract, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or request direct transfer to another controller, where technically feasible.

• Rights related to automated decision-making – We do not currently use automated decision-making. If such processing is introduced, you will have the right to express your point of view, contest the decision, and request human intervention.

• Right to object to direct marketing (“opt-out”) – You have the right to choose whether to receive marketing communications from us. We will not contact you for marketing purposes unless there is a commercial or business relationship between us or you have given explicit and freely given consent, such as subscribing to our newsletter. Each marketing message will include a clear and accessible way to opt out, including an unsubscribe link. You may also opt out at any time by contacting us directly. Administrative and service communications related to our services, updates to this Privacy Policy, or applicable terms and conditions are generally not subject to opt-out as they are necessary for contractual obligations. Opting out of marketing communications does not affect our right to contact you regarding website use or existing contractual relationships.

• Right of access to personal data – You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether we process personal data relating to you and access to that data. We apply appropriate procedures to safeguard your personal information, including identity verification before disclosure. You may exercise this right at any time by contacting us.

• Right to withdraw consent – Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

• Right to object to the manner of processing – You may submit a written objection regarding how we process your personal data, which will be reviewed in accordance with applicable law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in your country of residence, workplace, or where the alleged violation occurred.
