• Right to make a subject access request (SAR). You may request in writing copies of personal data we hold about you. However, compliance with such requests is subject to certain limitations and exemptions and the rights of others. Each request should make clear that a SAR is being made. There is no charge for making an SAR and the subsequent provision of your data, however, you may be required to submit a proof of your identity, where applicable.
• Right to rectification. You may request that we rectify any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Right to withdraw consent. You may at any time withdraw you consent to the processing of your personal data by us on the basis of previous consent. Such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on previous consent.

To the extent such right applies to the services, we will comply with such transfer request. Please note that a transfer to another provider does not imply erasure of the data subject’s personal data which may still be required for legitimate and lawful purposes.
• Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. We suggest that you contact us about any questions or complaints in relation to how we process personal data. However, each data subject has the right to contact the relevant supervisory authority directly, contact details available on their website: www.odpa.gg
