‍
    a) The right to access to your Data

You can request a copy of the Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

‍

    b) The right to rectification of your Data

If you believe that any of the information we hold about you to be incomplete or inaccurate, please either make the necessary amendments via the Platform or App or contact us via email.

‍

    c) The right to erasure of your Data

You can ask us to erase your Data where:

• you consider there is no good reason for us continuing to process your Data; or
• you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Data to comply with local law.

However, note that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

‍

    d) The right to object to processing of your Data

You can object to our processing of your Data where we are processing your Data for direct marketing purposes. To this end, choose NOT to subscribe to our newsletter, which is our central route for marketing messages, and you can choose to opt out of transactional email, some of which might contain marketing messages. You will have the option of changing your preference at any time.

You can also object to our processing of your Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest but there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. Note that, in some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

‍

    e) The right to restrict processing of your Data

You can ask us to suspend the processing of your Data in the following scenarios:

• if you want to establish the Data’s accuracy;
• where our use of the Data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
• where you need us to hold the Data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
• you have objected to our use of your Data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

    f) The right to Data portability

You can request the transfer of your Data to you or to a third party, to the extend that the legal basis for our processing is consent or that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party, and that such processing is carried out by automated means.

We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

‍

    g) The right to withdraw your consent

You can withdraw your consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Data.

However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
‍

2. Contact. If you wish to exercise any of the rights above, please either use the Platform or App where possible or contact us via email at data@measurematch.com.

‍

3. No fee usually required. You will not have to pay a fee to access your Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

‍

4. Verification of your information. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that your Data is not disclosed to any person who has no rights to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

‍

5. Time limit to respond. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
