The right of rectification means that you can ask us to rectify any inaccuracies in your personal data. You may also request that your personal data, if incomplete, be completed insofar as this is relevant to the purpose of the processing in question.
The right to erasure means that you can ask for your personal data to be erased, in particular when :
- Their retention is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected;
- Your personal data is processed on the basis of your consent, you wish to withdraw this consent, and there is no other legal basis to justify the processing;
- You have objected to the processing of your personal data and therefore wish to have them deleted;
- Your personal data has been processed unlawfully;
- Your personal data must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation under either European Union or United Kingdom law.
The right to restriction means that you can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data:
- When you dispute the accuracy of your personal data for a period of time that allows us to verify its accuracy;
- When, following a processing operation established as non-compliant, you prefer the limitation of processing to the complete erasure of your personal data;
- When we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but it is still necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;
- When you have objected to the processing of your personal data and you wish us to restrict the processing for a period of time that allows us to verify whether the legitimate reason you invoke is justified.
Restriction of processing means that the processing of your personal data is limited to the storage of your personal data. We will not carry out any further operations on the personal data in question.
- The right to object means that you may object to the processing of your personal data, where such processing is based on the pursuit of La Berge's legitimate interests. The right to object is exercised subject to justification of a legitimate reason relating to your particular situation. We will then cease the processing in question unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for continuing it in accordance with the applicable regulations.
- The right to define directives concerning the fate of your data after your death allows you to make known your instructions concerning the conservation, deletion and communication of your personal data after your death.
- The right to portability means that you can ask us, under the conditions laid down by the applicable regulations, to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit it to you, or to ask us to transmit it directly to a third party of your choice where this is legally and technically possible.
When we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting the addresses indicated in the “Contact us” section or by clicking on the unsubscribe link in each of our communications.
However, withdrawal of your consent does not affect the validity of the processing carried out prior to such withdrawal.
