- Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data where one of the grounds specified in Art. 17 applies (e.g., the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected).
- Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR): You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances (e.g., while a dispute about accuracy is being resolved).

- Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that our processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR.
