Your rights

If your personal data is processed by the committee, you have several rights, as described below. If you want to avail of those rights, besides the obligation to inform, you must contact the committee. The committee meanwhile, can provide you with more information on your rights.

Obligation to inform
In many cases, the committee must provide you with information, when it collects or processes your personal data.  The information pertaining to certain types of cases, is presented in these pages.

Right to see information (right of access)
You have the right to request access regarding the processing of your data.  This means that you have the right to know if the committee is processing your personal data and to see the data. However, there are certain exemptions to this right.  

Right to rectify (correction)
The committee must process correct and updated data.  If the committee processes data on you that is incorrect, then you have the right to have those data corrected. 

Right to deletion
In certain cases, you have the right to have your personal data deleted before the committee automatically deletes it (read more about automatic deletion under each section). Please note that the committee as a public authority is subject to rules, which means that the committee in many cases is not allowed to delete data that is being processed.

Right to limited processing
In some cases, you have the right to limit the processing of your personal data  If you have the right to limit the processing of your data then the committee is only allowed to process that data with your consent, except when it comes to storage, or with the intent to establish, uphold or defend a legal claim or to protect a person or important interests of society.  

Right to object
In some cases, you have the right to make objections to the committee’s otherwise legal processing of your personal data. 

Right to transmit data (data portability)
In some cases, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured and commonly used format, which is machine-readable, as well as to have your personal data transferred from one data controller to another without hindrance.  Please note that the right in most cases will not apply to the processing of personal data by public authorities including the committee.
