5. Your Data Protection Rights

You have the following rights in terms of the personal data we hold about you:
The right to be informed
 Adtech Holding is publishing this privacy policy to keep you informed as to what we do with your personal data. You can ask us for information regarding any data of yours that we keep at any time. This information concerns, among other things, the data categories we process, for what purposes we process them, the origin of the data if we did not acquire them directly from you and, if applicable, the recipients to whom we have sent your data
The right to access
 This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. You can obtain a copy of your data from us free of charge. If you are interested in other copies, we reserve the right to charge for the additional copies.
The right to correction (rectification)
 You can request that we correct your data. We will initiate appropriate measures to keep the data of yours that we continuously process correct, complete, and up to date, based the latest information available to us.
The right to erasure (The right to be forgotten)
 You can request that we delete your data provided the legal requirements have been met. In accordance with Article 17 the GDPR, this can be the case if:
  • the data are no longer required for the purposes they were acquired or otherwise processed;
  • you revoke your consent, which is the basis of the data processing, and there is no other legal basis for the processing;
  • you object to the processing of your data and there are no legitimate reasons for the processing or you object to data processing for the purposes of direct advertising;
  • the data have been processed illegally.
Where the processing is not necessary:
  • To ensure adherence to a legal obligation that requires us to process your data
  • In particular with regard to legal retention periods
  • To assert, exercise or defend against legal claims
The right to restrict processing
 You can request that we restrict the processing of your data if
  • You dispute the correctness of the data – for the period of time we need to check the correctness of the data;
  • The processing is illegal but you do not wish to have your data deleted and request a restriction of use instead
  • We no longer need your data, but you need them to assert, exercise or defend against legal claims;
  • You have filed an objection to the processing, though it has not yet been decided whether our legitimate grounds outweigh yours.
The right to data portability
 At your request, we will transfer your data– where technically possible – to another responsible entity. However, this right only applies if the data processing is based on your consent or is required to fulfil a contract. Instead of receiving a copy of your data, you can ask us to send the data directly to another responsible entity that you specify.
The right to object
 You can object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons that arise from your special situation provided the data processing is based on your consent or our legitimate interest or that of a third party. In this case, we will no longer process your data. The latter does not apply if we are able to prove there are compelling, defensible reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests or we require your data to assert, exercise or defend against legal claims
The right to withdraw consent
 Withdraw the consent you gave us with regard to the processing of your personal data for certain purposes, such as to allow us to transfer you data to a third party.

 Adtech Holding takes your rights very seriously. However, if you are of the opinion that we have not dealt with your complaints adequately, you have the right to submit a complaint to the data privacy protection authorities responsible. You can visit their website to find out how to submit a complaint (http://www.dataprotection.gov.cy).

We will only do so when it is necessary for one of the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

6.2 We do not envisage that any of your personal data will be transferred to any other countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) as our offices, facilities, subcontractors and other third parties with which we work are all located within the EEA.

6.3 In the event that this changes in the future and one or more recipients of your personal data are located outside the EEA, where data protection laws may be of a lower standard than in the EEA, we will impose the same data protection safeguards that we deploy inside the EEA to ensure that your personal data are always protected.
