6.2.    Each such partner outside the EEA that processes your personal data will be bound to observe adequate safeguards with regard to the processing of your personal data. Such safeguards will be the consequence of:

Your withdrawal of consent can imply that you can no longer use the whole or part of the website.

• An overriding interest of us or of any other third party in keeping your personal data identifiable,
• A legal or regulatory obligation or a judicial or administrative order that prevent us from de-identifying them.

7.3.    We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to keep your personal data safe from unauthorised access or theft as well as accidental loss, tampering or destruction. Access by our personnel or our third-party processors will only be on a need-to-know basis and be subject to strict confidentiality obligations. You understand, however, that safety and security are best efforts obligations which can never be guaranteed.

8.    YOUR RIGHTS

8.1.    You have the right to request access to all personal data processed by us pertaining to you. We reserve the right to charge an administrative fee for multiple subsequent requests for access that are clearly submitted for causing nuisance or harm to us. Each request will specify for which processing activity you wish to exercise your right to access and will specify to which data categories you wish to gain access to.
8.2.    You have the right to ask that any personal data pertaining to you that is inaccurate, is corrected free of charge. If you submit a request for correction, your request needs to be accompanied of proof of the flawed nature of the data for which correction is asked.
8.3.    You have the right to withdraw your earlier given consent for processing of your personal data.
8.4.    You have the right to request that personal data pertaining to you is deleted if the data is no longer required in the light of the purposes outlined in Article 3 above or if you withdraw your consent for processing them. However, you need to keep in mind that we will evaluate a request for deletion against:

• Our overriding interests or the overriding interests of any other third party, and
• Legal or regulatory obligations or administrative or judicial orders which contradict such deletion.

Instead of deletion you can also ask that we limit the processing of your personal data if (a) you contest the accuracy of the data, (b) the processing is illegitimate, or (c) the data is no longer needed for the purposes listed under Article 3 above.
8.5.    You have the right to oppose the processing of personal data if you are able to prove that there are justified reasons connected with these particular circumstances that warrant such opposition.

8.7.    If you wish to submit a request to exercise one or more of the rights listed above, you can contact us by e-mail at info@bosal.com.

A request to exercise a right will not be construed as consent with the processing of your personal data beyond what is required for handling your request. Such request should clearly state which right you wish to exercise and the reasons for it if such is required. It should also be dated and signed and accompanied by a digitally scanned copy of your valid identity card proving your identity.
We will promptly inform you of having received this request. If the request proves valid, we shall honour it as soon as reasonably possible and at the latest thirty (30) days after having received the request.
