3. What rights do I have regarding the processing of my data?
You may exercise, as applicable, the following rights: the right of access (to find out which of your data we process, why, and who receives it), rectification (to correct any gaps or inaccuracies in your data), erasure (right to be forgotten) (deletion from our records, provided that processing is no longer necessary), restriction of processing (where the accuracy of the data is disputed), and portability (to receive your data in a structured, commonly used file).
These rights are exercised free of charge by sending a letter or email to VisvikisBarlou, unless requests are repeated frequently and, due to their volume, cause us administrative costs, in which case you will be charged the relevant cost.
