4.Your rights
The applicable privacy laws grant you certain rights related to the processing of your personal data. The nature of our actions determines the scope of your rights.

If you want to implement any of the rights described below, go to your account/privacy settings or contact us using the Contact Form.

The right to access your personal data. This right allows you to receive information about whether we process personal information about you and, if so, the right to receive a copy of the personal data we process. The right of access to personal data allows you to verify that we process them in accordance with the law.

The right to rectify your personal data. This right provides the opportunity to request correction of incomplete, untrue or outdated data that we process. In some cases, when we process your request, we will need to verify the correctness of the new data you provide us with.

The right to limit the processing of your personal data. This right allows you to ask us to stop processing your personal data in the following situations: (a) if you want us to check the accuracy of the data; (b) if our processing is illegal; (c) when you need the data to establish, investigate or defend claims, even though we no longer need your data for our own processing purposes; (d) when you object to our processing, but we must verify whether we still have overriding and legitimate grounds for continuing the processing of your personal data.

The right to delete your personal data. This right allows you to request removal of your personal data if it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. You can also request that we delete your personal data if you have successfully exercised your right to object to the processing (see below) if we process your data unlawfully or are required to remove your personal data in order to comply with the legal obligation indicated in provisions of applicable law. Please note that in some cases, we are required to process your data based on applicable laws and we cannot process your request. For more information, see section 8.

The right to object to the processing of data concerning you in a situation where we process your data based on the premise of a legally legitimate interest (ours or third parties). You can lodge an objection for reasons related to your particular situation when, in your opinion, the processing affects your rights or freedoms. You also have the right to file an objection if we process your data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we can demonstrate that we have a legitimate basis for processing data that overrides your rights and freedoms (eg, the need to ensure the security of the Platform and the prevention of fraud). In such cases, the right to object is not connected with the removal of your personal data.

The right to transfer your personal data. In implementing this right, we will provide you or a third party identified by you with your personal information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Remember that you are entitled to this right only in relation to data processed on the basis of consent or the condition for performance of the contract you have entered into with us, and the processing itself takes place in an automated manner (in information systems).

If you have given us permission to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing which was carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.

The exercise of rights is, in principle, free: You will not have to pay a fee for exercising the right of access to your personal data (or for the performance of any other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is manifestly unreasonable or excessive, in particular, because of its continuing nature. In these cases, we may also refuse to comply with your request.

Timeline for requests: We strive to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. If your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests, it may take us longer than a month to recognize them. In this case, we will inform you about the extension of the deadline and provide you with current information regarding the implementation of your request.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority at any time.

We will be grateful if, before submitting a complaint to the supervisory body, you will give us the opportunity to address your case and concerns related to our action. For this reason, please contact our Privacy Department via info@maariba.com or use our complaints form on our Platform.
