DATA SUBJECTS' RIGHTS

In accordance with current or future Data Protection Legislation, Ewen informs you that Data Subjects have the right of access, rectification, limitation, portability, erasure and the right to object to the processing of Personal Data, in certain circumstances, which may be exercised under the terms of this section of the Privacy Policy.

RIGHTSWhat do they consist of?
Right to information provisionThe Data Subject has the right to obtain clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how Ewen uses their Personal Data and what their rights are. That is why Ewen provides all this information in this Privacy Policy.
Right of accessThe Data Subject has the right to obtain information about what Personal Data Ewen processes (if any) and certain information (similar to that provided in this Privacy Policy) about how that Personal Data is processed. Ewen may refuse to provide the requested information where, in order to do so, Ewen would have to disclose Personal Data of another natural person or the information would adversely impact the rights of another natural person.
Right of rectificationIf your Personal Data is incorrect or incomplete (for example, if your name or address is wrong), you may request that Ewen take reasonable steps to correct it.
Right to erasure of personal dataThis right is also known as the "right to be forgotten" and, in simple terms, allows the Data Subject to request the erasure or deletion of their data, provided there are no valid grounds for Ewen to continue using it or its use is unlawful. This is not a general right to erasure, as exceptions are allowed (for example, whenever this data is necessary for the defense of a right in legal proceedings).
Right to restriction of treatmentThe Data Subject has the right to "block" or prevent future use of their Data while Ewen evaluates a request for rectification or as an alternative to erasure. Where Processing is restricted, Ewen may still store your Data, but may not use it at a later date. Ewen keeps a list of the data subjects who have requested the "blocking" of future use of their data to ensure that this limitation is respected
Right to portability of personal dataThe Data Subject has the right to obtain and reuse certain Personal Data for his/her own purposes in various organizations. This right applies only to Personal Data provided to Ewen and processed by Ewen with consent and those processed by automated means.
Right to opposeThe Data Subject has the right to object to certain types of processing, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time during which such processing takes place, for the purposes of the legitimate interests of Ewen or a third party. Ewen may continue to process such Data if it can prove the existence of "overriding legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms" or if such Personal Data is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Right to lodge a complaintThe Data Subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority, the National Data Protection Commission - CNPD, if he/she considers that the processing carried out on Personal Data violates his/her rights and/or the Data Protection Legislation.

If the lawful basis for the processing of your personal data is consent or legitimate interest, you may withdraw your consent or object to the processing at any time, without any consequences, but without compromising the lawfulness of the processing carried out in the meantime. If you withdraw your consent or expressly object, Ewen will immediately cease processing your personal data for the purpose in question, unless it is necessary to process the data in order to comply with legal and/or contractual obligations.

You may at any time, in writing, exercise the rights enshrined in the Data Protection Legislation and other applicable legislation through the means described in Point 10 of this Privacy Policy.

SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

To guarantee the security and confidentiality of Personal Data, protected databases are used, including appropriate firewalls and passwords, in accordance with the provisions of Data Protection Legislation. Access to Personal Data is only possible for authorized employees who have an actual need to use the Personal Data, in accordance with the principles of security and confidentiality. Violations of this Privacy Policy by Ewen employees may give rise to disciplinary action. Compliance with Ewen's standards and procedures is periodically monitored and verified.
