- You have the right to access your personal data, which means that you can ask us to provide you information regarding the personal data we have about you and ask for a copy of your personal data. Should you have such a request, please note that you must specify for which processing activities you would like to have access to your personal data.
- You have the right to ask us to correct your personal data if you can show that the personal data we process about you are incorrect, incomplete or outdated. Please specify the context in which we use your personal data (e.g. to send you newsletters or to respond to a request), so that we may assess your request swiftly and accurately.
- If we asked for your consent to collect and use your personal data, e.g. to send you newsletters, you have the right to withdraw that earlier given consent.
- You can ask that we delete your personal data, if these personal data are no longer needed for the purposes for which we collected them in the first place, if our collection of them was illegitimate or if you have successfully exercised your right to withdraw your consent or your right to object to the processing of your personal data. When one of these circumstances applies, we will immediately delete your personal data unless the law, regulatory obligations or administrative or judicial orders prohibit us to delete your personal data.
- You can ask that we restrict the processing of your personal data in the following circumstances:
