ERASURE: You have the right to request, without undue delay, the erasure of personal data in the following situations: personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected; the consent on the basis of which the processing of personal data took place has been withdrawn and there is no other legal basis for the processing; you object to the processing of the data and there are no legitimate grounds for objecting to the processing of the data; personal data have been unlawfully processed; personal data need to be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation.

PORTABILITY: You have the right to receive personal data provided to Simbol in a structured, machine-readable format. If technical means allow such an operation Simbol may transmit this data to another controller.

If data subjects, directly or through a representative, exercise the above rights in a manifestly unfounded, unjustified or excessive manner, in particular because of their repetitive nature, Simbol may either charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested, or refuse to comply with the request.
