WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING THE PERSONAL DATA THAT WE PROCESS?

One of the main objectives of the Regulation is to protect and clarify the rights of natural persons in terms of personal data protection. Thus, although we process your personal data, the Regulation provides you with several rights regarding your personal data.

Also, the Regulation grants more rights to the individuals whose personal data are processed. Thus, in addition to the existing rights, we also find the right to data portability or to data deletion.

These are your rights, briefly:

The right of access means that you have the right to obtain the confirmation from us that we process your personal data or not and, if so, you have access to those data and to the information regarding the way data are processed. You also have the right to obtain a copy of your personal data provided to us and which are processed (we would like to inform you that for any other copies requested by you, a reasonable fee may be charged, based on administrative costs). If you submit the request electronically and unless you request a different format, the information will be provided to you in the currently used electronic format.

The right to data portability refers to the right to receive personal data in a currently used structured format, and which may be read automatically, and to the right to transmit these data directly to another operator if this is technically feasible.

The right to opposition means your right to oppose the processing of your personal data when processing is necessary for the performance of a task which is in the public interest or when it has a legitimate interest of ABN SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL. When processing your personal data is for direct marketing, you have the right to oppose it at any time.

The right to withdraw your consent concerns the cases when we have obtained your consent to process your personal data for certain activities (for example, for direct marketing purposes). You may withdraw your consent at any time and we will cease to conduct that specific activity unless we consider that there is an alternative legal basis to justify further processing of your personal data for that purpose, and we shall inform you about this condition.

The right to rectification refers to correcting, without undue delay, the inaccurate personal data. The rectification shall be notified to each recipient the data were forwarded to, unless this proves impossible or requires disproportionate efforts, and we will notify you on these recipients if you request so. 

The right to erasure of data (the "right to be forgotten") means that you have the right to ask us to erase your personal data without undue delay for one of the following reasons:

they are no longer required for the fulfilment of the purposes they were collected or processed for;
you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for processing;
you oppose the processing and there are no prevailing legitimate reasons;
your personal data have been illegally processed;
your personal data must be deleted for compliance with a legal duty;
your personal data have been collected in connection with the provision of services of the information society;
In doing so, we shall notify each recipient the personal data have been disclosed to, upon any deletion thereof, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate efforts, and we will notify you on these recipients if you request so.
