You have the right to access your personal data. Observe that we may ask for additional information to ensure an effective processing of your request.
8.2 THE RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION
If your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request rectification. This includes a right to add such personal data that is missing and that is relevant taking into account the purpose of the processing.
8.3 THE RIGHT TO ERASURE
You have a right to request that we erase your personal data if:
the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or processed;
you withdraw consent on which the processing is based, and there is no other legal grounds for the processing;
the processing is carried out for direct marketing and you object to the personal data being processed;
you object to processing that is based on a weighing of interest, and there are no legitimate reasons that override your interest;

In certain exceptions, we may not be required to erase your personal data. This includes if it is necessary in order to satisfy other important rights or to fulfil a legal obligation.
8.4 THE RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING
In certain cases, you have the right to request that we restrict our processing of your personal data.

You may also object if the personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, after which the personal data may no longer be processed for such purposes.
8.6 THE RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY
If the processing of your personal data is based on your consent or a contractual obligation with you, you have the right to request that the personal data that you have transferred to us is transferred to another personal data controller.
