  • Under certain circumstances, delete your PII without undue delay.
  • Under certain circumstances, be restricted from processing your PII.

Where we process your PII solely based on your consent, European citizens have the right to withdraw consent to our processing of PII at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of our processing before the withdrawal. European citizens have the right to lodge a complaint with their data protection supervisory authority at any time. The exercise of these rights may be subject to conditions, and we may require further information before responding to your request.
