Privacy Rights

At BlueGrid, we value the rights of our website visitors and believe it is essential for them to exercise their rights in accordance with the law. Under the General Data Protection Regulation, data subjects (individuals whose personal data are being processed) have several rights. These rights empower individuals to have control over their personal data and how it is handled by organizations. The rights of data subjects under the GDPR include:

• Right  to Information and Transparency: Data subjects have the right to be  informed about the collection, use, and processing of their personal data. Organizations must provide clear and concise information regarding the     purposes, legal basis, retention periods, and recipients of the data.
• Right of Access: Data subjects have the right to access their personal data held by organizations. They can request information about the data being processed, the purposes of processing, the recipients of the data, and other relevant details.
• Right to Rectification: Data subjects have the right to request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. If the data held by an organization is incorrect or outdated, the data subject can request its     rectification.
• Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): Data subjects have the right to request the deletion of their personal data under certain conditions. This right applies, for example, when the data is no longer necessary for the     purposes for which they were collected, when the data subject withdraws consent, or when data processing is deemed unlawful.
• Right to Restriction of Processing: Data subjects can request the restriction of processing their personal data. This right allows individuals to limit the processing of their data while other issues, such as accuracy or     lawfulness, are being resolved.
• Right to Data Portability: Data subjects have the right to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They can also request the transfer of their data from one organization to     another, if technically feasible.
• Right to Object: Data subjects have the right to object to the processing of their personal data based on legitimate interests, including profiling. Organizations must cease processing the data, unless they can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject.
• Rights in Relation to Automated Decision-Making: Data subjects have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which significantly affects them. Exceptions apply if the decision is necessary for the performance of a contract, authorized by law, or based on explicit consent.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: Data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if they believe their rights under the GDPR have been violated. Each EU member state has a designated supervisory authority responsible for data protection.
