To the extent provided by applicable privacy laws, you have the following rights:

You have the right to information as to whether or not and to which extent we process which of your personal information.
You have the right to object the processing of your personal information based on Article 6 (1) (e), (f) of the GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation at any time.
You have the right to the rectification of any inaccurate personal information about you and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete personal information about you completed.
You have the right to the erasure of your personal information without undue delay unless we have a legitimate interest to keep the information, such as in the event we need the information to execute an agreement with you.
You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal information, unless we have a legitimate interest to continue processing the information for the purpose in respect to which you requested the restriction. For example, you have the right to object to our processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes (including profiling for direct marketing purposes). If you make such an objection, we will cease to process your personal information for this purpose.
