You also have the right to have your personal data erased by us without undue delay. You can only invoke this right to be forgotten in the following cases:

  • When the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was originally collected;
  • When the personal data was collected on the basis of consent obtained and there is no other legal basis for the processing;
