HOW CAN YOU AFFECT OUR PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

According to data protection legislation, you are entitled to a variety of rights to affect our processing of your personal data. Read more below.

​

RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT AND TO OBJECT TO PROCESSING

You have a right to, entirely or partly, withdraw a given consent for the processing of your personal data. Your withdrawal will have effect from the time of your withdrawal. You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data. You always have a right to object to marketing from us, such as newsletters emails. The right to object generally is applicable when the processing is based on a balance of legitimate interests. In some cases, however, the right to object does not exist (e.g. since we must store your personal data). If we can show compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that weigh heavier than your interests and fundamental rights or if it is for the purpose of determining, practicing or defending legal claims you never have a right to object to the processing.

​

RIGHT TO ACCESS

​You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not we are processing personal data concerning you. You can gain access to the personal data and obtain a copy of the personal data processed by us.

RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION

​You have a right to obtain rectification of any inaccurate personal data concerning you and to ask us to have incomplete personal data completed.

RIGHT TO ERASURE (“THE RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN”) AND RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING

​Under certain circumstances, you have a right to request erasure of your personal data. This is the case for example where the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed, or you withdraw your consent on which the processing is based and where there is no other legal ground for continuance of the processing. You also have a right to request that A & K, Art and Kraft restrict its processing of your personal data. That is the case for example when the accuracy of the personal data is contested by you, or the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead requests restriction of its use.

RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT TO A SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

​You always have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In UK, under the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to find out what information we store about you.
