You have the right to request information about the Processing we perform in respect of your Personal Data free of charge. You also have the right to receive a copy of the information we process about you. This request must be submitted in writing to us with clarification of what information you wish to receive. We will respond to your request as soon as possible. If we are unable to comply with your wish to access the information to which your request relates, we will provide grounds for this.

Right to erasure
You have the right to request that Holtab deletes your Personal Data without undue delay. Personal Data shall be deleted in the following cases:
(1) if the Personal Data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected;
(2) if you withdraw your consent and consent is the sole legal basis for processing;

(4) if you object to the processing of Personal Data that occurs after a balance of interests and your interest outweighs ours;
(5) if your Personal Data has not been processed in accordance with the Data Protection Rules; or

There may be obligations that prevent us from immediately erasing all of your Personal Data. These obligations are derived from applicable legislation such as accounting. If certain Personal Data cannot be erased due to applicable law, we will ensure that the Personal Data can only be used for the purpose of fulfilling such legal obligations and not for any other purposes.
Right to restriction
