4. Your legal rights

​

Request for access

You can request access to your personal data that we have collected about you. You can receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and check that we process it lawfully.

Request for rectification
You can request the rectification of the personal data we have collected about you. You may have incomplete or incorrect data we hold about you corrected, although we do need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request for deletion ("Right to be forgotten")
This right allows you to ask us to delete or erase personal data when processing it is based on your consent and you withdraw this consent, so that there is no longer any other legal basis for processing. You also have the right to ask us to delete or delete your personal data if there is no good reason to process it further and if we have processed your information unlawfully. However, please note that for specific legal reasons, we cannot always comply with your request for removal. If this is the case and applies, you will be informed at the time of your request.

The right to limited processing
You have the right to request limited processing of your personal data if (i) you believe that the personal data you provide are no longer correct and you want to give us a certain period of time to check the inaccuracy of the personal data, or (ii) if processing is unlawful and you request the limited use of personal data instead of deletion of personal data, or (iii) we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of processing but you need this data for the determination, exercise or defence of legal claims. The personal data that need to be processed based on (one of) these conditions will only be processed based on explicit consent given by yourself.

The right to data portability
You have the right to obtain the personal data we have collected about you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable form. You also have the right to request the transfer of the personal data to a third party.

​​

​

5. Your rights – additional information

​

Right to withdraw consent
If the processing of your personal data is based on your prior, explicit consent, you will have the right to withdraw your explicit consent. Withdrawal of your expressed consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on your explicit consent before the withdrawal. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving consent. If you have indicated that you want to receive our marketing messages, you will, for example, be given an opt-out option. If you no longer wish to give us permission to process certain personal data in your nutrition profile, you can delete it yourself in your nutrition profile.

In principle, this is free of charge
You do not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or exaggerated. We may also refuse to comply with your request in this case.

Verification of your identity
We may need to ask you for specific information that will allow us to confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data or exercise your other rights. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to a person who does not have the right to receive this data. We may also contact you for further information regarding your request to speed up our response.

​

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected this data, in particular to comply with legal, accounting or reporting requirements. In order to determine the correct retention period for personal data, we take into account the quantity, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of damage due to unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can fulfil those purposes by using means other than the retention of your personal data.
