How and Why We Process Your Data
Rights of data subjects
Each citizen of the EEA whose data is processed has specific rights under the GDPR.
Right to demand access to your personal data
Each person has the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed, and where that is the case, he or she has the right to access them and to obtain some specific information.
The first copy of personal data undergoing processing will be provided to the person at his or her request free of charge. We may charge a reasonable fee for any further copies requested by the data subject due to administrative costs. If you make the request by electronic means, and unless otherwise requested by you, we will provide the information in a commonly used electronic form.
Right to rectify
You have the right to request from us the rectification without delay of your personal data which is inaccurate. You also have the right to request to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing an additional statement.
Right to demand the erasure of personal data
You have the right to request from us to delete your data without delay, and we are obligated to delete it without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
your personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
you have withdrawn the consent on which the processing is based and there is no other legal basis for further processing;
you have objected to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing;

for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under the EU or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
for reasons of public interest in the field of public health;
for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 (1) of the GDPR, insofar as the right to erasure is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Right to demand restriction of processing
You have the right to request from the controller to restrict processing in the following cases:
you contest the accuracy of your personal data, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the data;
the processing is unlawful but you oppose the erasure of your personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead;
the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;
you object to the processing pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds on the part of the controller override your reasons for the objection.
Right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your data based on the legitimate interest of the Controller or a third party, or to the processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller, including profiling based on those legal provisions.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the grounds for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Right of data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us, where:
the processing is based on your consent or on a contract and
the processing is carried out by automated means.
The possibility of exercising the right of data portability and having it transmitted by the controller directly to another controller will be realized as far as technically feasible.
According to the GDPR, the exercise of your rights must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
Right of withdrawal of your consent
If your data is processed on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw such consent at any time. The withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of data processing carried out on the basis of your consent before its withdrawal.
If you withdraw your consent, we have the right to further process your data if it is necessary:
for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under the EU or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;for reasons of public interest in the field of public health;
for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 (1) of the GDPR, insofar as the right to erasure is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
