5. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights concerning your personal data. We are committed to respecting these rights and will respond to your requests within 30 days.

Right to Access

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This includes the purposes of processing, categories of data, recipients and the source of the data.

If any personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it.

Right to Erasure

You can request that we delete your personal data, except when we are required to keep it for legal or contractual reasons.

Under certain circumstances, you may ask us to limit the processing of your data, for example, if you contest its accuracy.

Right to Data Portability

You may receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine‑readable format, and transfer it to another controller.

Right to Object

You can object to processing for direct marketing, profiling or other legitimate interests. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing relies on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the legality of any processing carried out before you withdrew.
