5. Your GDPR Rights

Right to Access

You have the right to obtain confirmation that we are processing your personal data, and if so, to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. You can exercise this right by contacting us at [email protected].

Right to Rectification

If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request that we correct it. Please provide the necessary documentation to verify the changes.

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

You may request the deletion of your personal data where no lawful basis exists for its continued processing. We will remove your data from our active databases, but please note that copies may remain in backups for a limited period.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data, for example, if you contest the accuracy of the data or if we no longer need it for the purpose but you need it for a legal claim.

Right to Data Portability

You may receive the personal data we hold about you in a structured, commonly used, machine‑readable format, or request that we transfer it directly to another data controller.
