Providing the rights of others are not infringed upon, we will supply to you a copy of your personally identifiable data.

You may request your personally identifiable data that we store by contacting Zitomer’s Principal Privacy Officer by email at ppo@zitomer.com.
You have the right to have any inaccurate personally identifiable data about you corrected and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete personally identifiable data about you completed.
In some circumstances, without unreasonable delay you have the right to the removal of your personally identifiable data. These include:
- the personally identifiable data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
- you withdraw consent to consent-based processing;

- for the legal purposes.
In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your personally identifiable data. These include:
- contesting the accuracy of the personally identifiable data;
- processing is unlawful but you oppose removal;
- Zitomer no longer has a need for the personally identifiable data for processing purposes, but you require personally identifiable data for legal purposes; and
- you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection.
Where this has restricted processing, we may continue to store your personally identifiable data. However, we will only otherwise process it:
- with your consent;
- for the legal purposes;
- for reasons of important public interest; or
- for the protection of the rights of another person.
You have the right to object to our processing of your personally identifiable data, but only to the extent that processing is for legal purposes and or necessary for:

- the performance of a task is in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or
- the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.
If the event you raise such objection, we will cease processing of your personal information unless and until we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your objection, or the processing is for legal purposes.
You have the right to object to our processing of your personally identifiable data for direct marketing, at which time we will cease to process your personally identifiable data for these purposes.
You have the right to object to our processing of your personally identifiable data for scientific, historical research or statistical purposes, unless the processing is for the public interest.
To the extent that the legal basis for Zitomer’s processing of your personally identifiable data is:
- consent; or
- necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract,
and such processing is carried out in an automated fashion, you have the right to receive your personally identifiable data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply where it infringes upon the rights of others.
If you believe Zitomer’s use of personally identifiable information infringes on data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with an authority of competent jurisdiction who is responsible for the data protection violation you deem to have allegedly occurred.
