13.3 Access rights The Company may verify the accuracy of the Personal Data being processed about you. If your Personal Data is being processed, you have the right to access it. The Company will provide an electronic copy of the Personal Data currently being processed and may charge a reasonable fee for any additional copies. If you request it, the data will be made available in electronic form. The right to access Personal Data must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. If a request is likely to prejudice another person’s rights or freedoms, the Company may refuse the request or limit the extent to which it can comply.

13.4 Right to rectification The Company may correct any inaccurate Personal Data. You also have the right to request correction of any incomplete Personal Data relating to you, with due regard to the purpose for which it is being processed.

13.5 Right to Erasure This right applies in the following circumstances: (a) the Personal Data is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was 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 where such processing is based on legitimate interests pursued by Us or by a third party; (e) the Personal Data has been processed unlawfully; or (f) the Personal Data must be erased in order to comply with the company’s legal obligations. This right does not apply where processing is necessary (a) to comply with a legal obligation under applicable law; or (b) to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

13.6 Processing restrictions If you have concerns about the accuracy of your Personal Data, you may ask the Company to restrict the processing of your Personal Data. Where you request such a restriction, the Personal Data may then be retained only with your consent, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, to protect the rights of another individual, or where there is an overriding reason of substantial public interest under applicable law.

13.7 Right to data portability Where processing is carried out through automated means and is based on your consent or on a contract to which you are a party, you have the legal right to receive the Personal Data you have provided to the Company and review it. You may also request that your Personal Data be transferred directly by the Company to another data controller, where this is technically feasible. Exercising your right to data portability does not affect your rights under the right to erasure. This right must not adversely affect the rights or freedoms of others.

13.8 Right to challenge You have the right, at any time, to object to the use of your Personal Data where the processing is based on the legitimate interests of the Company or a third party. This right also applies to profiling carried out on the basis of those legitimate interests. If we are able to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing your Personal Data, we may continue such processing unless you show that your rights, freedoms, or interests override those grounds, or unless the processing is required for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims. In relation to direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your Personal Data.

13.9 Right to refuse consent You may withdraw your consent for Us to process your Personal Data at any time. This will not affect the validity or lawfulness of any processing carried out on the basis of your consent before it was withdrawn. You also have the right to file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. Where applicable, you may approach a competent authority responsible for protecting individuals’ fundamental rights in relation to the processing of Personal Data. Applicable laws may restrict certain rights relating to your Personal Data, as set out in this section 13.

If an extension applies, we will inform you within one month of receiving your request, along with the reasons for the delay.

13.11 Provided this does not conflict with the provisions of Section 13 of the applicable law, any information you request in exercise of your rights under Section 13 will be provided free of charge. However, if a request is unjustified or excessive, particularly where it is repetitive, we may charge a reasonable fee to cover the administrative costs of providing the information or taking the requested action. We may also choose not to act on such a request.

13.12 If we have reasonable doubts about the identity of the individual who submitted your request, we may ask the person making the request to provide appropriate proof of identity.
