6. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR you have the following rights regarding your personal data. Each right is illustrated with an icon for clarity.

You may request that we delete your personal data, provided there is no legal obligation to retain it. This includes the right to be forgotten in certain circumstances.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can ask us to limit the processing of your data, for example, if you contest the accuracy of the information. We will then stop using the data for processing purposes until the issue is resolved.

You may object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes or for profiling. Upon your objection, we will cease processing such data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
