GDPR Data Protection Rights
We want to ensure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights provided by GDPR. Every user is entitled to the following:
Right To Access
Individuals have the right to demand confirmation from organizations as to whether or not their personal data is being processed and, if so, to access that personal data and get specific information about how it is being used. Individuals have the right to be aware of and check the legality of processing their personal data.
Here are some crucial factors to consider regarding the right to access:
Requesting Access: Individuals have the right to request access to their personal data and information kept by organizations. This request can be given in either verbal or written form. The organization must respond to the request in a reasonable amount of time, usually within one month.
Confirmation and Information: The organization must confirm whether it is processing the individual's personal data and, if so, provide a copy of the processed personal data. Furthermore, the organization should provide information about the processing purposes, the categories of personal data that are being processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the identifiable information has been or will be revealed the retention period for the personal data, and the individual's GDPR rights.
Exemptions: In some cases, the right to access may be limited or exempted. For example, if granting access would jeopardise the rights and freedoms of others or if the material is protected by legal privilege. These exemptions are specific and must be evaluated on an individual basis.
Fees: In most situations, the organization should provide free access to the requested personal data. If the request is unreasonable or recurrent, the organization may charge a reasonable price or refuse it. Any fees or refusals should be communicated to the individual in advance.
Identity Verification: Organizations have the right to require further information to confirm the identity of the person requesting access. This is done to prevent personal information from being disclosed to unauthorised parties.
Right To Rectify
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) grants individuals the right to rectify their Data. It offers individuals the right to request that an organization correct or rectify their data if they believe it is erroneous, incomplete, or outdated.
Here are some essential points about the right to correction to consider:
Requesting Rectification: Individuals can request that an organization correct their personal data if they believe it is inaccurate or incomplete. The request can be made either verbally or in writing, and the organization must respond within a reasonable timeframe, usually one month.
Verification and Evaluation: When an organization receives a request for rectification, it must check the accuracy and completeness of the personal data. If the organization discovers the data is erroneous or incomplete, it must correct it as soon as possible.
Providing Supplementary Information: In addition to correcting erroneous data, the organization should consider providing any additional information required to ensure the personal data is complete and current.
Rectification Communication: If the organization exposed inaccurate personal data to third parties, it shall notify those third parties of the rectification, if possible. If the individual asks it, the organization should also tell them about the recipients of their data.
Right to Restrictions: If an individual challenges the accuracy of their data and demands correction, they may have the right to limit the processing of that data while its accuracy is verified.
Exceptions: There are some exceptions to the right to rectification. There may be times when rectification is not possible, such as when the accuracy of the data is questioned and requires more study. In such circumstances, however, the organization should identify the data as challenged or take appropriate steps to ensure its veracity is validated as quickly as practicable.
Right To Erasure
One of the fundamental rights provided to individuals under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the right to erasure, commonly known as the right to be forgotten. Individuals have the right to request that an organization delete or remove their personal data in specific circumstances.
Here are some crucial factors to remember concerning the right to be forgotten:
Requesting Erasure: Individuals can request that an organization erase their personal data. The request can be made either verbally or in writing, and the organization must respond within a reasonable timeframe, which is usually one month.
Erasure Grounds: There are numerous grounds on which an individual might request that their personal data be erased. These include instances in which the personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was acquired or processed, the individual withdraws their consent (where consent was the legitimate basis for processing), there is a legal requirement to erase the data, or the data was treated unlawfully.
Restrictions to the Right: The right to erasure is not absolute, and certain restrictions may apply. Organizations, for example, may be exempt from erasing personal data if doing so is necessary for exercising the right to free expression and information, complying with a legal obligation, establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims, or reasons of public interest in the field of public health.
Erasure Communication: If the organization has disclosed personal data to third parties, it shall make reasonable measures to notify those third parties of the erasure request, when practicable. If the individual asks it, the organization should also tell them about the recipients of their data.
Data Backup and Archiving: Under the right to erasure, an organization is not required to delete personal data from backup or archive systems if those systems are not actively accessed or utilized. However, the organization should have safeguards in place to ensure that wiped data is not restored or misused.
Balance of Rights and Obligations: The right to be forgotten must be balanced against other rights and obligations. Organizations may be required to evaluate criteria such as the public interest in the availability of certain data, the exercise or defence of legal claims, or the requirement to comply with legal obligations requiring data preservation.
Right To Restrict Processing
Individuals have the right to request that the processing of their personal data be temporarily restricted. This indicates that the organization can store the data but not further process it while the processing is restricted.
The following are critical points about the right to restrict processing:
Grounds for Restriction: Individuals may exercise this right in certain circumstances, such as when they contest the accuracy of their personal data (until it is verified), when the processing is unlawful, but the individual opposes erasure, or when the organization no longer requires the data for its original purpose but the individual requires it for legal claims.
Processing Restrictions: When processing is restricted, the organization is often simply allowed to store the data. Further processing is only permitted in certain circumstances, such as with the consent of the subject, for legal claims, or to protect the rights of another person or organization.
Restriction to Communicate: The organization shall notify the individual if and when the restriction on processing their personal data is lifted.
Right to Object Processing
Individuals have the right to object to processing their personal data in certain circumstances. Unlike the right to limit processing, which aims to limit processing temporarily, the right to object seeks to permanently halt or stop specified forms of processing.
The following are critical points about the right to object to processing:
Grounds for Objection: Individuals have the right to object if they feel their personal data is being processed for objectives such as direct marketing, scientific or historical research, or the performance of a duty carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority. They can also object when personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests unless the organization can show sufficient valid reasons that outweigh the individual's interests, rights, and freedoms.
Limited Processing: Individuals have an absolute right to object to the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time, and the organization must stop processing the data for such purposes.
Objection Process: Organizations must tell individuals about their right to object during data collection and provide clear and explicit ways for individuals to exercise this right. Individuals should be able to submit their objections freely and simply.
Assessment and Compliance: Organizations must examine and respond to an objection, determining whether the processing of personal data is required and permissible. If the objection is justified, the organization should stop processing the data unless it can show compelling legitimate grounds for doing so that outweigh the individual's interests, rights, and freedoms.
If you make a request, we have one month to respond. Please contact us if you would like to exercise any of these rights.
CCPA Privacy Rights (Do Not Sell My Personal Information)
We must acknowledge the CCPA because we deliver our items worldwide. California consumers have the following rights under the CCPA, among others:
Request that a company that collects a consumer's personal data provide the categories and specific pieces of personal data that the company has gathered about the consumer.
Request that a business remove any personal data it has gathered about the consumer.
Request that a company that sells a consumer's personal information not sell the consumer's personal information.
If you submit a request, we have one month to answer. Please contact us if you wish to exercise any of these rights.
Children's Privacy
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us. If We become aware that We have collected Personal Data from anyone under the age of 13 without verification of parental consent, We take steps to remove that information from Our servers.
If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.
