5. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. Below is a brief explanation of each right and how you can exercise it. Icons are included for quick visual reference.

Right to Access

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including the purposes for which it is processed, the categories of data, and the recipients of the data.

Right to Rectification

If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request that we correct it promptly.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the “right to be forgotten,” you may ask us to delete your personal data where no legal obligation requires us to retain it.

You can request that we limit the processing of your personal data, for instance, while we verify its accuracy or assess the necessity of further processing.

Right to Data Portability

You may obtain your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine‑readable format and transmit it to another controller.

You can object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes or where we rely on legitimate interest, and we will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.

Right to Withdraw Consent

If you have provided consent for any processing activity, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
