Where we process your data with your consent or for the performance of a service 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 upon request.

Responding to Requests

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 security measure ensures that personal data is not disclosed to anyone with no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information concerning your request to speed up our response. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one business day.

We may charge a reasonable fee if your request is unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. Also, please note that we may refuse a request for blocking and deletion where the processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
