You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data we hold about you without undue delay, and to have incomplete personal data completed.
9.3 Right to Erasure / Right to be Forgotten (Article 17 GDPR)
You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent and no other legal basis applies, or where the data has been unlawfully processed.

9.4 Right to Restriction of Processing (Article 18 GDPR)
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example where you contest the accuracy of the data, or where you have objected to processing and we are considering whether our legitimate grounds override your interests.
9.5 Right to Data Portability (Article 20 GDPR)
Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract, and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have that data transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
