4. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. We are committed to respecting and facilitating these rights in a timely manner.

Right to Access

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including the purposes of processing, categories of data, and recipients. We will provide the information in a concise, transparent, and easily understandable format.

Right to Rectification

If your data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request corrections. We will verify the request and update the information promptly.

Right to Erasure

Also known as the “right to be forgotten.” If you wish to have your data deleted, we will remove it from our active databases unless a legal obligation requires retention.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can request that we suspend the processing of your data, for instance while we verify its accuracy or assess the legal basis for processing.

Right to Data Portability

We will provide your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine‑readable format, enabling you to transfer it to another controller if you wish.

Right to Object

You may object to the processing of your data for direct marketing, profiling, or other purposes. Upon objection, we will cease processing unless we can demonstrate a compelling legitimate interest.

Right to Withdraw Consent

If we rely on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred prior to withdrawal.

5. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights listed above, please contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO) at [email protected] with a brief description of your request. If you are requesting data access or rectification, please provide sufficient details to verify your identity (e.g., the email address associated with your account or a screenshot of your profile). We will respond within 30 days, as mandated by the GDPR. In cases where we need more time to investigate or verify your request, we will notify you and provide a reasonable extension.

6. Retention Periods

Personal data is retained for no longer than necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy or to satisfy legal obligations. Typical retention periods include:

Email addresses: up to 5 years after the last interaction, unless you unsubscribe.
Cookies: session cookies are deleted upon closing the browser; persistent cookies are stored for 30 days.
Analytics data: anonymised data is retained for 12 months for trend analysis.
