E. Rights regarding personal data
At any time, the data subject may:
Request access to personal information – You have the right to access personal information which Comp-RAR holds about you. Request rectification of personal information – You have a right to request Comp-RAR to correct your personal information where it is inaccurate or out of date.

Request restrict processing – You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal information, but only whereas:
its accuracy is contested, to allow Comp-RAR to verify its accuracy;
or the processing is unlawful, but you do not want it erased; or
it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, but Comp-RAR still need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or you have exercised the right to object, and verification of overriding grounds is pending. Object to processing – You have the right to object the processing of your personal information at any time, but only whereas that processing has Comp-RAR’s legitimate interests as its legal basis. If you raise an objection, Comp-RAR has an opportunity to demonstrate that has compelling legitimate interests which override your rights and freedoms.

Your requests will be treated with special care so that we can ensure the effectiveness of your rights. You may be required to prove your identity to ensure that you are the eligible data subject.
You should be aware that in certain cases (e.g. due to legal requirements) your request cannot be immediately met.
In any case, you will be informed of the measures taken to that effect within 1 (one) month from the moment the request is made.
