What are your rights regarding your personal data at Sister Sites?

Your rights regarding your personal data at Sister Sites include access, rectification, restriction and portability of your data. To exercise these rights, you can contact us directly. 

Below is an explanation of each right and how it applies to you.

1) Access. You have the right to confirm whether Sister Sites processes your personal data and can request a copy of it. You can ask us to explain how we use your data, the purposes for processing and the measures we take to protect it.

2) Rectification. You can request Sister Sites to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data. We may verify the accuracy of the data before making updates to our systems.

• Erasure is required to comply with a legal obligation.

Sister Sites is not obligated to erase your data if processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. There may be other situations where erasure requests are denied, but these are the most common circumstances.

4) Restriction. You can request Sister Sites to restrict (retain but not use) your personal data, but only under specific conditions:

• You dispute the accuracy of the data (see Rectification) and we need time to verify it.
• The processing is unlawful, but you prefer restriction over erasure.
• We no longer need the data for its original purpose, but you require it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

• Processing is carried out by automated means.

6) Objection. You can object to processing based on the legitimate interests of Sister Sites if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh those interests. We may demonstrate that our legitimate interests are compelling enough to override your rights.

7) Supervisory Authority. You have the right to file a complaint with your local supervisory authority regarding the handling of your personal data by Sister Sites. We encourage you to resolve any issues with us first, but you can contact the supervisory authority at any time.

Each of these rights makes sure that you retain control over how your personal data is processed, used and protected at Sister Sites.
