Your rights and how to exercise them.

European privacy laws give you certain rights in respect of the information that we hold about you. Below is a short overview of those rights.

• You have the right to have a copy of the personal data that we hold about you. We may make a reasonable charge for additional copies of that data beyond the first copy, based on our administrative costs. For data that you have given to us, you have the right to receive your copy of it in a common electronic format, and to provide copies of it to other people if you wish.
• You have the right to have the personal data we hold about you corrected if it is factually inaccurate.
• You have the right to have personal data that we hold about you erased (the “right to be forgotten”). This right is not generally available when we still have a valid legal reason to keep the data.
• You have the right to require us to stop using your data for marketing purposes.
• You also have the right in some circumstances to request that temporary restrictions are placed on how we process your data, for example, if we are processing it based on our legitimate interest, and you contest our assessment that your fundamental rights and freedoms do not override our interest.
• If we are processing your data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, in which case we will stop that processing unless we have another legal basis on which to continue.
• If you want us to stop sending you marketing e-mails, the quickest and most efficient way is to use the provided links in our e-mails. Otherwise, if you wish to exercise your rights in respect of your data, the best way to do so is to contact us by email at info@classichemasters.com. To protect your privacy, when you contact us, we may ask you to prove your identity before we take any steps in response to such a request.
