Your rights
You have several rights regarding the Data that we process about you. These are explained in more detail below.
• Right to object.
You can always inform us of the special reasons why you wish to object to the processing of your Personal Data that is based on the public interests or legitimate interests. If these reasons outweigh these interests, we can stop processing.

Any access request generally comes at no cost to you, and we must respond within 1 (one) month unless provided otherwise by the Law No. 45 or other applicable laws. We may, where permissible, impose a reasonable fee to meet any extraordinary administrative costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you.

A restriction of processing means that we may only temporarily store your Data unless you give permission to process your Data, in the context of a legal claim or in the public interests and legitimate interests. A restriction can be lifted afterwards. We will of course notify you before we lift any restrictions on the processing of your Personal Data.
