2. Your rights as data subject
Regulation No. 679/2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (GDPR) grants a number of rights to the persons whose personal data are processed. Throughout the entire period when your personal data is kept by HOURGLASS MEDIA, you have the following rights as a data subject:
Right of access means that you shall have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed, and, where that is the case, access to that personal data and information on how the data is processed.
Right to data portability means the right to receive the personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and the right to directly transmit that data to another controller, where this is technically feasible.
Right to object means the right to object to the processing of personal data when the processing is required for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or on grounds of the legitimate interests of the controller. Where data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to the processing at any time.
Right to rectification refers to the rectification of inaccurate personal data without undue delay. The rectification shall be communicated to each recipient to whom the personal data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’) means that you shall have the right to request us to erase your personal data without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies: it is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed; you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal ground for the processing; you object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing; the personal data has been unlawfully processed; the personal data has to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation; the personal data has been collected in connection with the offering of information society services.
