  • Data subject rights

    What are your rights?

    Under the legislation in force, from the moment we collect and process your data, you have a number of rights that you may exercise with Temabrands at any time.

     

    Right of access: the right to obtain information about the processing of your data and its characteristics (including the type of data, the purpose of processing, the persons to whom your data may be disclosed, retention periods, and which data you must provide on a mandatory or optional basis).

    Right to restriction: the right to suspend processing or restrict processing to certain categories of data or purposes.

    Right to object: the right to object to certain purposes, provided that there are no overriding legitimate interests. One example is the right to object to direct-marketing purposes.

    Right to erasure or ‘right to be forgotten’: the right to request erasure of your data where you consider that there are no valid grounds for retaining them and provided that there is no other valid ground permitting such processing (such as performance of a contract or compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation).
