  • You have the right to ask that we rectify your personal data if you can show that the personal data we process about you are incorrect, incomplete or outdated.
  • If we asked for your consent to collect and use your personal data, e.g. to send you newsletters, you have the right to withdraw that earlier given consent.
  • You can ask that we delete your personal data, if these personal data are no longer needed for the purposes for which we collected them in the first place, if our collection of them was illegitimate, or if you have successfully exercised your right to withdraw your consent or your right to object to the processing of your personal data.
