8. Your rights
As a subject, you have a couple of rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), they are as follows:
Request access for your personal data that is in our possession (commonly known as a "data subject access request" or DSAR). This would enable you receive a personal copy of the data we hold about you.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This would help you to be able to request a correction of your data in our possession if you deem it to be wrong. Before any correction, we will need to verify the accuracy of the new data.
Request erasure of your personal data that we hold about you. This is your right to ask us to delete or remove personal data if there is no longer any reason for us to hold it. You are also able to ask us to delete your personal data if we have already successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. You should however note that we may not be able to erase your data at the moment you request it because of certain legal reasons we would notify you of, if such is applicable at the time of request.
Object to processing of your personal data if we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third-party) and if there is something peculiar about your situation that may make you decide to object to processing because of this as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedom. You are also free to object if we are using your data for direct marketing purposes. In certain situations, we may show that we have legitimate grounds to process your information which overrides your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This would help you request us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following circumstances: (a) if you want us to ensure the data is correct; (b) when our using the data is unlawful but you would not allow us to delete it; (c) where you may require us to hold on to the data for longer even though we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have prevented us from using your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third-party. We will furnish you or your preferred third party with your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. You should note that this right is only applicable to automated information which you have already given us consent to use, or if we have used the information to work for you.
Withdraw consent at any time if we need your consent to process your personal data. This however, will not affect the lawfulness of any job or processing that was carried out before you withdrew your consent. But you should note that we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you if you withdraw your consent.
