  • The right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) – to request deletion of Your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
  • The right to restriction of processing – to request that We limit how We use Your data in certain circumstances.
  • The right to data portability – to receive Your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller.
  • The right to object – to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
  • Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling – the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU Member State of Your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.
