rights of those affected

In order to comply with the transparency and modalities stipulated in Article 12 of the EU GDPR, the controller provides information below on the rights of the data subjects.

a) Right to information (Article 15)

The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. The controller shall provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. For any further copies requested by the data subject, the controller may charge a reasonable fee based on the administrative costs.

If the data subject objects to the processing of personal data concerning him/her, the controller may no longer process these data unless he/she can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
