Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

• Consent: When you provide explicit consent for specific processing activities
• Contract Performance: When processing is necessary to fulfill our service obligations to you
• Legal Obligation: When we must process data to comply with legal requirements
• Legitimate Interests: When processing serves our legitimate business interests while respecting your rights and freedoms

Your Rights Under GDPR

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access

You have the right to obtain confirmation that we are processing your personal data and to receive a copy of that data along with information about how it is being processed.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the "right to be forgotten," you can request deletion of your personal data when:

• The data is no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected
• You withdraw consent and there is no other legal ground for processing
• You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
• The data has been unlawfully processed
• Erasure is required to comply with a legal obligation

Right to Restriction of Processing

You can request that we limit how we use your personal data in certain circumstances, such as:

• When you contest the accuracy of the data
• When processing is unlawful but you prefer restriction over erasure
• When we no longer need the data but you need it for legal claims
• When you have objected to processing pending verification of legitimate grounds

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from us.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of alleged infringement if you believe your data protection rights have been violated.
