4. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. The icons next to each right are from Bootstrap Icons.

Right to Access

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide a concise, intelligible summary of the data, the purposes of processing, the categories of data, the recipients, and the period of storage.

Right to Rectification

If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct or update it. We will rectify the data promptly.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the “right to be forgotten.” You can request deletion of your personal data, provided no legal obligation requires us to retain it. We will delete the data or anonymise it where feasible.

Right to Restrict Processing

You may ask us to suspend the processing of your data under certain circumstances, such as if you contest its accuracy or the processing is unlawful. We will store the data but not use it further.

Right to Data Portability

You can receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine‑readable format, or request that we transfer it directly to another controller, where technically feasible.

Right to Object

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

Right to Withdraw Consent

If we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.
