YOUR RIGHTS

Depending on whether you are a B2B or B2C customer, you are guaranteed several rights, the key ones of which are mentioned below:

Right to be informed | You have the right to be informed about the processing of your personal data.

Right to access | You have the right to access key aspects of your own personal data and the right to receive relevant information regarding the processing of your personal data. You can contact us so as to exercise this Right.

Right to restriction of processing | Under certain circumstances, we may suspend processing activities – and you may also ask us to pause the processing of your personal data. In other words, we will keep your data, but won’t further process it – and you can contact us so as to exercise this right.
Right to object | In some circumstances, you have the right to object (*i.e., say that you don’t – or no longer – agree with the processing and ask us to stop) to the processing of your personal data regarding your particular situation. This right applies to processing based on direct marketing purposes and, usually, to some other purposes (such as some legitimate interests).
