  • If the processing is illegal but you do not want us to erase your personal data;
  • If we no longer need personal data but you need it to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

If we have disclosed the data to a third party, we will inform you of the restriction unless it is impossible or requires disproportionate effort. We will inform you if we decide to lift a restriction on the processing of your personal data.

Oppose the processing of your personal data

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time. This application will be free. It is not an absolute right, but you can object to us processing your personal data when:

  • Based on the reason for legitimate interest; or
  • For scientific / historical statistical and research purposes.

We will stop processing your personal data unless we have compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that override your interests and rights, or unless we are processing personal data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

You can ask us to stop using your personal data for direct marketing purposes. We will stop as soon as we receive your request, however we may not be able to implement this for any direct marketing campaigns that are already in progress. There are no exemptions or reasons for us to refuse.

Data portability

This allows you to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. Applies when the following conditions are met:

  • You provided us with the personal data yourself;
  • We are processing personal data based on your consent or because it is necessary for the performance of a contract; and
  • The treatment it is done by automated means.

We will provide you with your personal data free of charge in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

Automated decision making and profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision that is based solely on automated processing and that has a legal (or equally significant) effect on you.

We will inform you of any automated decision making that affects you. You have the right to:

  • Request human intervention;
  • Express your point of view;
  • Ask for an explanation of the decision; and
  • Challenge the decision.

These rights are not absolute. We may not be able to comply with this request if the processing of personal data is:

  • Necessary for us to enter into or perform a contract with you;
  • Authorized by law (for example, for the prevention of fraud) and which also establishes the appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests; or
  • Based on your explicit consent.

Respond to requests to exercise your rights

We will respond to your request without undue delay no later than within one (1) month after receiving your request, unless it is particularly complicated or you have made multiple requests, in which case we can extend this for two (2) months. We will inform you if we are going to take more than one (1) month to attend to your request. If we have a lot of information about you, we may ask if you can tell us exactly what you want to receive. This will help us process your request more quickly.

In order to comply with your requests to exercise the rights listed above, we will carry out the necessary internal processes to identify you.
