Right of access: You have the right to ask us at any time to confirm whether we are processing your personal data, to provide access to them and information about their processing, and to obtain a copy of such data. The copy of your personal data that we provide will be free of charge, but the request for additional copies may be subject to a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. On our part, we may ask you to prove your identity or require more information necessary to manage your request.
Right to rectification: You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete personal data concerning you. You can also request that incomplete personal data be completed, even by an additional statement.
Right to erasure -right to be forgotten-: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data when, among other reasons and as long as a proportionality assessment is made, the data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected and they don’t concern current events and the right to information prevails.
Right to restrict processing: You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data, which means that we can continue to store them, but not continue processing them if one of the following conditions is met:
- you dispute the accuracy of the data, for a period that allows the controller to verify their accuracy; the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the data and request instead the restriction of their use;
- you have objected to the processing, while it is verified whether the legitimate reasons of the site prevail over yours.
Right to data portability: You have the right for your data to be transmitted to another controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

Right to object: This right allows you to object to the processing of your personal data, including profiling. We will not be able to comply with your right only when we process your data if we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
