You have a right to obtain your personal data from us and reuse it for your own purposes, perhaps for another service, without hindering the usability of the data (‘right of portability’).

You have a right to ask us to restrict our processing of your information (‘right to restriction’) if:
- you contest its accuracy and we need to verify whether it is accurate
- the processing is unlawful, and you ask us to restrict use of it instead of erasing it
- we no longer need the information for the purpose of processing, but you need it to
establish or defend legal claims
- you have objected to processing of your information being necessary for the performance of
a task carried out in the public interest, or for the purposes of our legitimate interests. The
restriction would apply while we carry out a balancing act between your rights and our

information for the purpose of exercising or defending legal claims, protecting the rights of
another person or for public interest reasons.
