11. What rights does the data subject have?

Depending on the type of processing performed on their personal data, the data subject may exercise several of the following rights:

A. The right to be informed
Any data subject has the right to be informed about the data collected on them. It is in particular through this privacy policy that the data controller wishes to provide this information.

A data subject who would like to obtain more information about the personal data collected on them may find their request refused in the following cases:
• The data subject already has this information.
• The request requires disproportionate effort or proves to be impossible to achieve.
• Providing this information would seriously undermine the purpose of the processing.

B. The right of access
All data subjects have the right of access to their personal data.

To do so, the data subject must make a request to the relevant department of the data controller so that the latter can detail the precise data held about them, subject to the rights and freedoms of others, which cannot be compromised.

A reply must be given within one month of the request’s being made by the data subject. However, this period may be extended by a further month depending on the complexity and the number of requests. In the latter case, the data subject will be informed within one month of their request for access.

The data controller is entitled to require payment of “reasonable costs” in relation to the administrative costs incurred in issuing these documents in the event that requests are repetitive, unfounded or manifestly intended to abuse this right of access.

C. The right to rectification
Any data subject has the right to secure from the data controller, as soon as possible, the rectification of personal data concerning him/her that are inaccurate.

The data subject may also request that incomplete data be completed, in particular by providing an additional declaration.

The data controller shall notify the data subject of the completion of this procedure.

D. The right to erasure
A data subject can claim the right to erasure of their data whenever one of the following reasons arises:
• The data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed by the data controller;
• The data subject wishes to withdraw their consent and there is no other legal basis for such processing;
• The data subject object to the processing required for the legitimate interests being pursued by the data controller or by a third party;
• The data subject has a right to object and is making use of this right;
• The data has been unlawfully processed;
• The data has to be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation laid down by EU law or by the law of the Member State to which the data controller is subject.

In the event of such a request, the data controller shall take reasonable measures to remove such data, within one month of the request.

The data controller shall notify the data subject of the completion of these measures.

In the event that the data controller does not wish to comply with the request, reasons shall be given for the refusal.

The right to erasure does not apply insofar as the processing of such data is necessary:
• to exercise the right to freedom of expression and of information
• to comply with a legal obligation that requires processing under EU law or the law of the Member State to which the data controller is subject, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the data controller
• for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal rights
• for archival or statistical purposes as set out in Article 89 of the GDPR

E. Right to have processing restricted
The data subject has the right to have the data controller restrict processing when one of the following applies:
• the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period allowing the data controller to check the accuracy of such personal data
• the processing is unlawful, and the data subject objects to the erasure, and demands instead that their use be restricted
• the data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data is still needed by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal rights
• the data subject has objected to the processing by virtue of their right to object, while it a check is being carried out on whether the legitimate grounds being pursued by the data controller prevail over those of the data subject.

This request to have processing restricted implies that the personal data may, with the exception of storage, be processed only with the consent of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal rights, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or on strong grounds of the public interest of the EU or of a Member State.

The data controller shall inform the data subject when this procedure has been completed.

F. Right to data portability
Where the processing of the personal data of the data subject is based on the consent given by the latter, or on a contract, and where such processing is carried out by automated means, and provided that the data have not been made anonymous, the data subject may ask to received such data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

The data subject shall be able to pass on these data to another data controller, without the data controller’s being able to prevent this.

G. Right to object
The data subject shall have the right to object at any time, on grounds related to their particular situation, to the processing of their personal data based on the public interest or the legitimate interest of the data controller, including profiling based on such interests.

The data subject may also object to the processing of data based on their consent or on a contract, provided that the data were collected for the purposes of prospecting or for archival and statistical purposes.

The data controller shall no longer process such data unless it can demonstrate legitimate and compelling grounds for doing so that override the interests and rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal rights.
