As previously mentioned, we do not store personal data. However, should we ever do so, in accordance with applicable regulations, you would have a series of rights concerning the collection and processing of your personal data.
Exercising these rights will be free of charge for you, except in cases where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, especially if they are repetitive.
These rights include:
Right to information: You have the right to be informed in a concise, transparent, intelligible, and easily accessible way, using clear and plain language, about the use and processing of your personal data.
Right of access: At any time, you can ask us to confirm whether we are processing your personal data, provide access to them, give information about their processing, and obtain a copy of such data. The first copy of your personal data that we provide will be free of charge, but we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs for additional copies. We may also ask you to verify your identity or provide further information needed to handle your request.
Right to rectification: You have the right to request the correction of inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete personal data related to you. You can also request that incomplete personal data be completed, including by an additional statement.
Right to erasure – right to be forgotten: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data when, among other reasons, and provided a proportionality assessment is carried out, the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected and it’s not about current events where the right to information prevails.
Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to request the limitation of processing of your personal data, meaning we can continue storing them but not process them if one of the following conditions is met:
Right to data portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller. This right applies when processing is based on consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means.
Right to object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, including profiling. We can only refuse your right when we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Right to withdraw consent: In cases where we have obtained your consent for the processing of your personal data for specific activities (e.g., to send you commercial information), you can withdraw it at any time.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority:
You can exercise your rights by sending us a message via the contact form, providing proof of identity, and supplying the necessary details to process your request.
At any time, you can restrict the collection or use of the personal information provided to our website. Every time you’re asked to fill out a form, such as the user registration form, you can check or uncheck the option to receive information by email.
