Your GDPR Rights

Last updated: January 15, 2025

# Your Rights in Detail

Under GDPR (Articles 15-22), you have six main rights. Here is each one explained.

ARTICLE 15

1. Right of Access

You can ask us what personal data we hold about you. We will provide a copy of your data in a clear format. We will also tell you:

  • Why we process your data
  • What categories of data we hold
  • Who we share it with
  • How long we keep it
  • Where the data came from

We respond to access requests within 30 days. There is no fee for the first request.

ARTICLE 16

2. Right to Correction

If any data we hold about you is wrong or incomplete, you can ask us to fix it. We will correct the data without delay.

Please include what data is wrong and what the correct data should be in your request.

ARTICLE 17

3. Right to Deletion (Right to Be Forgotten)

You can ask us to delete your personal data. We will do so when:

  • The data is no longer needed for its original purpose
  • You withdraw your consent
  • You object to processing and we have no overriding reason to continue
  • The data was processed unlawfully

We may need to keep some data for legal reasons (such as tax records). We will tell you if this applies.

ARTICLE 18

4. Right to Restrict Processing

You can ask us to limit how we use your data. This means we store it but do not process it further. You can request this when:

  • You dispute the accuracy of your data (while we verify it)
  • Processing is unlawful but you prefer restriction over deletion
  • We no longer need the data but you need it for a legal claim
  • You have objected to processing (while we consider your objection)
ARTICLE 20

5. Right to Data Portability

You can ask for a copy of your data in a common, machine-readable format (such as CSV or JSON). You can also ask us to send your data directly to another company, where possible.

This right applies to data you gave us through consent or contract.

ARTICLE 21

6. Right to Object

You can object to us processing your data at any time. This applies when we process data based on our legitimate interests.

If you object, we will stop processing unless we have strong legal grounds to continue.

You can always object to direct marketing. We will stop immediately.

# How to Exercise Your Rights

To use any of the rights listed above:

  • Send an email to support@quick-reliable-here.com
  • Include your full name and the email you used on our site
  • State which right you want to use
  • Provide any details that help us find your data

We will confirm your request within 5 business days. We will complete it within 30 days. If the request is complex, we may extend this to 60 days, but we will tell you why.

We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request. This protects your data from unauthorized access.

# How to Withdraw Consent

If you gave us consent to process your data (for example, by submitting our contact form), you can withdraw that consent at any time.

To withdraw consent:

  • Email support@quick-reliable-here.com with the subject "Withdraw Consent"
  • We will stop processing your data within 5 business days
  • Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing done before withdrawal
