Your Data Rights
Any individual whose personal data We hold and to whom the GDPR applies is entitled to eight data subject rights:
1) The right to be informed.
The right to information allows individuals (data subjects) to know what personal data is collected about them, why, who is collecting data, how long it will be kept, how they can file a complaint, and with whom will they share the data.
2) The right of access.
Individuals have a right to submit subject access requests and attain information from the organisation about whether their personal information is being processed.
3) The right of rectification.
The right to rectification allows the individuals to ask the organisation to update any inaccurate or incomplete data they have on them.
4) The right to object to processing.
The right to object allows individuals to object to the processing of personal data at any time, in certain situations and it will depend on the purpose of processing and the lawful base for processing.
5) Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling.
The data subjects have the right not to be subject to automated decision-making if it is producing a legal effect that significantly affects them. However, it will not apply if the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract, if it is authorized by the law, or if the processing is based on explicit consent.
6) The right to be forgotten.
The right to be forgotten is also known as the right to erasure. This right allows individuals to ask for their personal data to be deleted if:
