You have rights over the personal information you provide. To exercise these rights, please email the address below.
Access rights
The Company can verify the accuracy of the personal data being processed about you. Once verified, you may access your personal data.
The Company will provide an electronic copy of the personal data it is currently processing and may charge a reasonable fee for any additional copies. Upon request, the data will be made available electronically.
Your right to access personal data must not infringe the rights and freedoms of others. If an access request would adversely affect another person’s rights or freedoms, the company may refuse to comply or limit the scope of its response.
Right to rectification
The Company is authorised to correct inaccurate personal data. You have the right to request that any incomplete personal data relating to you be corrected, taking into account the purpose of processing.
Right to Erasure
The following reasons apply: (a) Personal data are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected or processed; (b) You withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for processing; (c) You object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party; (e) Personal data have been unlawfully processed; or (f) Personal data must be deleted to comply with the company's legal obligations.

Processing restrictions
If you are concerned about the accuracy of your personal data, you may ask the company to restrict its processing.
If you request that your personal data be restricted, it may only be retained with your consent, to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural person, or where doing so serves a significant public interest within the European Union or a member state.
Right to Data Portability
If processing is carried out by automated means and is based on your consent or a contract to which you are a party, you have the legal right to access and review the personal data you have provided to the company.
You are entitled to request that the company transfer your personal data directly to another controller, where technically feasible. Exercising your right to data portability does not affect your rights under the right to erasure. This right must not prejudice the rights or freedoms of others.
Right to challenge
You may object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on the legitimate interests of the company or a third party. This includes profiling carried out on the basis of those interests. If we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your rights, freedoms or interests, or where processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal rights, we may continue to process your personal data.
In relation to direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data.
Your right to refuse consent
You may withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out on the basis of your consent before it was withdrawn.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.
You may lodge an appeal with a supervisory authority established by a Member State to protect individuals’ fundamental rights in relation to the processing of personal data in the European Union.
Laws of the European Union and its Member States may restrict your rights concerning your personal data, as outlined in Section 13.
We will provide the information you have requested under section 13 of this agreement within one month of receiving your request. If necessary, we may extend this timeframe by up to two months, depending on the nature of the request and the volume of requests. Within one month of receipt, we'll advise you of any extension and the reasons for it.
Subject to section 13 of the law, information you request under your rights in section 13 will be provided free of charge. If a request is unfounded or excessive, particularly if it is repeated, we may charge a reasonable fee to cover administrative costs of providing the information or taking the requested action, or we may decline to act.
If we have any doubts about the identity of the person making the request, the company may request additional information to verify your identity.
