You have the right to request that incomplete or inaccurate personal data we hold about you be corrected.
You have the right to request the deletion or removal of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
You have the right to request that we provide you, or a third party you have chosen, with your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

We conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) when implementing new technologies or processing activities that are likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals. These assessments help us identify and minimize data protection risks.
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority without undue delay and, where feasible, within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach.
If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals, we will also notify the affected individuals without undue delay.
We have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this GDPR Compliance statement and our privacy practices. If you have any questions about how we handle your personal data or would like to exercise your rights, please contact our DPO at:

If you are based in the European Union or European Economic Area and believe that we have not complied with data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. However, we would appreciate the chance to address your concerns before you approach the supervisory authority, so please contact us in the first instance.
