6. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. Each section below includes a concise icon for visual reference and a brief description of what the right entails.

Right to Access

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, as well as information about how it is processed. We will provide this information in a concise, transparent, and easily accessible format.

Right to Rectification

If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request that we correct it promptly. We will review and update the information within a reasonable timeframe.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the “right to be forgotten,” you may request the deletion of your personal data where no legitimate reason exists for its continued processing. We will delete or anonymise the data unless a legal obligation requires retention.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can ask us to limit the processing of your data in certain circumstances (e.g., if you contest its accuracy). During restriction, we will store your data but not use it for further processing beyond what is necessary for legal compliance.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine‑readable format, and to transfer it to another controller if you wish.

Right to Object

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

Right to Withdraw Consent

If you have given us consent to process your data, you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing that relied on consent before its withdrawal.

7. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights listed above, please send a written request to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]. Your request should include:

Your full name and contact details.
A description of the specific right you wish to exercise.
Any supporting evidence or documentation (e.g., account ID, email address) that helps us identify your data.

We will acknowledge receipt of your request within 5 business days and respond with the requested information or action within 30 calendar days, as required by the GDPR. If you believe we have not complied with your request or if you have any concerns about how your data is being processed, you may file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including any statutory or regulatory retention periods. Once the retention period expires, we securely delete or anonymise the data. For email addresses, we retain them for the duration of the subscription unless you request deletion. Cookies and analytics data are stored for a maximum of 14 days, unless a longer period is required for legal compliance.
