What are your rights and how can you exercise them?
What are your rights?
- Right of access
You may ask us which of your personal data we process, why we process it, which categories of personal data we process, with which categories of third parties we share your personal data, what the origins are of the processed data and – when applicable – what the logic is that we apply to the automatic processing of personal data. - Right to rectification
If information is not correct, you may ask us to correct it. - Right to delete your data
If data is not lawfully processed or if your data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, you may ask us to delete your data. - Right to limit data processing
By limiting the processing of your personal data, your personal data can still be kept but its use will be limited. When you have requested a processing limitation, we may only store your data. This means that your data can no longer be used to carry out other operations. - Right of objection
You have the right to object to the fact that your data will be processed if that processing is based on a general interest or on a legitimate interest of the entity processing your data. In addition, you may also assert this right of objection if your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes. This right of objection also applies to profiling which forms the basis for processing for direct marketing purposes. - Right to withdraw consent
If the processing of your personal data is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. - Right to transferability of the data
You have the right to obtain the personal data provided by you in a commonly accepted, structured and machine-readable form, and you have the right to transfer this personal data to another Processing Controller if the processing is based on legal consent or a contractual relationship.
The aforementioned rights are only a summary and remain subject at all times to the limitations of applicable data protection laws.
How can you exercise your rights?
You can exercise your rights by sending an email to hello@smoofl.com. To prevent any unauthorized disclosure of your personal data, Smoofl may request additional information to verify your identity.
Smoofl has one month to answer your request. This period begins once Smoofl receives your request and has collected all the information needed to fulfil your request. This one-month period may be extended after this is communicated and explained by Smoofl.
Smoofl will provide the requested information free of charge. If requests are unfounded or excessive, due, in particular, to their repetitive nature, Smoofl may charge reasonable compensation for the request or refuse the request.
If for some reason you believe that Smoofl did not process your request correctly, you may contact Smoofl again and we will work together with you to find a solution.
For the sake of completeness, we want to inform you that if Smoofl does not respond to your request, refuses your request or if our response does not meet your expectations, you always have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Authority, Drukstraat 35, 1000 Brussels, Tel +32 (0)2 274 48 00, or via the e-mail address contact@apd-gba.be.
