Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following additional rights regarding your data:

Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)
You have the right to obtain restriction of the processing of your personal data when one of the following applies:

- the processing is unlawful and you refuse deletion of the personal data and instead request restriction of the use of the personal data;
- The data controller no longer needs the personal data for the processing purposes, but you require it for establishing, exercising or defending a legal claim;
- You have objected to the processing (Article 21 GDPR), pending verification of whether the data controller's legitimate grounds outweigh your own.
Right to Object (Article 21 GDPR)
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data that takes place under Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on these provisions. The data controller shall cease processing the personal data unless it demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)
You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided.
