Your most important rights under the AVG are:

  1. The right to access your Personal Data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This allows you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and verify that we are processing it lawfully.
  2. The right to have the Personal Data we hold about you rectified. This allows you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected, although we may need to verify the accuracy of any new information you provide to us.
  3. the right to erasure of your Personal Data. You may request that we delete Personal Data about you without undue delay, and we are required to delete such data without undue delay if there are no legitimate reasons for us to retain it, including our obligation to maintain files.
  4. The right to restrict the processing of your personal data. This allows you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
    • If you want us to determine the accuracy of the data;
    • When our use of the data is illegal, but you do not want us to delete it;
    • Where you need us to keep the data even if we no longer need it because you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
    • you have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify that we have overriding legitimate reasons for using it.
  5. the right to object to the processing of your Personal Data when we rely on a legitimate interest (or that of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation that makes you want to object to processing on this ground because you believe it affects your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object when we process your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we can demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate reasons to process your information that outweigh your rights and freedoms;
  6. The right to data portability of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide you, or a third party you choose, with your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to individuals who have no right to receive it.
