Right to data portability

You have the right to data portability where the processing is based on consent or a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means where technically feasible. The exercise of this right does not affect the right to be forgotten.

Please note, however, that such withdrawal of consent does not affect our right to process your data where such processing is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations and/or to the extent that we are required to process your data by law or to defend ourselves in a dispute, to prevent fraud or abuse, or to enforce our Terms and Conditions. However, if you withdraw your acceptance of this Policy, we will not process your data for marketing purposes, as we will consider such withdrawal as your objection to the processing of your data.
