Your rights
We have outlined your rights under data protection law in this Section 8. Since certain rights are intricate, not all the information has been covered in our summary. Accordingly, you should read the relevant laws and guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of these rights.
The main rights you have under data privacy legislation are:
- (a) the right to access;
- (b) the right to rectification;
- (c) the right to erasure;
- (d) the right to restrict processing;
- (e) the right to object to processing;
- (f) the right to data portability;
- (g) the right to complain to a supervisory authority; and
- (h) the right to withdraw consent.
You have the right to know whether or not we process your personal data and, in the event that we do, to access such data together with certain extra details. These further elements include information about the recipients of the personal data, the types of personal data involved, and the processing goals. We will give it to you in a copy, so long as it doesn't interfere with the rights and freedoms of others. The first copy will be given away without charge, however further copies can come with a fair charge.
You have the right to have any incomplete personal data about you completed, while also requesting that any erroneous personal data about you be corrected, taking into account the reasons for the processing.
You may be entitled to the immediate erasure of your personal data under certain conditions. These situations include: you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; the personal data are no longer required in connection with the purposes for which they were gathered or otherwise processed. The right to erasure does have certain limitations, though. The broad exemptions apply when processing is required to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; to comply with a legal obligation; or both.
You have the right to control how your personal data is processed in certain situations. These situations include: contesting the accuracy of the personal data; objecting to processing, pending verification of that objection; processing is unlawful, but you oppose erasure; we no longer require the personal data for our processing, but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims. In cases where processing has been prohibited due to this rationale, we might keep your personal information on file. Otherwise, nevertheless, we will only handle it with your permission, in order to establish, pursue, or defend legal claims, to safeguard the rights of another natural or legal person, or for significant public interest.
You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for reasons specific to your situation, but only to the extent that the processing is required by law to fulfil one of the following purposes: to carry out a task in the public interest or to exercise any official authority vested in us; or to further our own or a third party's legitimate interests. In the event that you raise such an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can show that there are compelling legal reasons for doing so that outweigh your rights, freedoms, and interests, or that processing is necessary for the creation, assertion, or defence of legal claims.
You have the right to object to the way we use your personal information for direct marketing, including when we use profiling. In the event that you raise such an objection, we will stop using your personal information for this reason.
You may be able to limit how your personal data is processed under certain conditions. In these situations, personal data is no longer needed for our processing purposes but is still needed for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims; you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection; you contest the accuracy of the personal data; processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure; and so on. We could keep your personal data on file even if processing has been prohibited for this reason. However, we will only use information in the following other ways: with your permission; to establish, pursue, or defend legal claims; to defend the rights of another natural or legal person; or for significant public interest.
On the basis of factors specific to your case, you have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for statistical, scientific, or historical research purposes, unless the processing is required to complete a work carried out for the benefit of the public.
Insofar as our processing of your personal data is authorised by law,:
- (a) consent; or
- (b) that the processing is required to carry out a contract in which you are involved or to fulfil your request before signing a contract,
and you have the right to obtain your personal data from us in an organised, widely-used, and machine-readable format if such processing is done automatically. This right does not, however, apply in situations where it might impair the freedoms and rights of others..
You have the legal right to file a complaint with the supervisory authority in charge of data protection if you believe that the way we process your personal information violates data protection regulations. You can file this in the EU member state where you now reside, work, or where the alleged infringement occurred.
Insofar as consent serves as the legal foundation for our processing of your personal data, you are free to revoke it whenever you choose. The legality of the processing done prior to the withdrawal is unaffected by the withdrawal.
Along with using the other channels mentioned in this Section 8, you can also use written notice to contact@raffaly.com to exercise any of your rights regarding your personal data.
