• the right to the rectification of your personal data and legal entities’ data;
• the right to the deletion of your personal data and legal entities’ data;
• and the right to object to the processing of your personal data and legal entities’ data.

Statutory requirements and exceptions apply to these rights. Where permitted by law, a request to exercise these rights may be refused. You have the right to file an appeal with the competent data protection supervisory authority.
