RIGHTS OF THE HOLDERS OF PERSONAL DATA AND RESPONSE TO THEIR REQUESTS
Sol sem Fronteiras guarantees the applicability and compliance with all the rights of the personal data subject provided for in the General Data Protection Regulation, and in accordance with the national legislation in force, such as:

Right of Access
You have the right to obtain from Sol sem Fronteiras confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed and, if so, the right to access your personal data and information regarding such processing. In this regard, for example, you can request an exact copy of your compilation and request additional information about the processing we carry out.

Right of Rectification
You also have the right to obtain, without undue delay, from Sol sem Fronteiras, the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you, in particular the right to correct or complete your personal data.

Right to data erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
You may exercise your right to have your personal data erased by Sol sem Fronteiras without undue delay if the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was processed; when you withdraw your consent and there are no other valid reasons for storing it; when you object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate interests on the part of Sol sem Fronteiras or in the other cases provided for by law.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to Sol sem Fronteiras in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit such data to another controller (if technically possible), if the processing is based on consent or on a contract, and if the processing is carried out by automated means.

Right to withdraw consent
You may at any time change your consent, limit it to certain types of processing or withdraw it. However, withdrawal of consent does not compromise the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent previously given.

Right of Opposition
You may also object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you where there are no compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms. The same applies for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

It should also be added that you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data for the purposes of direct marketing. In this case, Sol Sem Fronteiras undertakes to cease processing the data for such purposes.

Right to Limitation of Processing
In certain situations, you have the right to obtain from Sol sem Fronteiras the restriction of the processing of your data, particularly if you contest the accuracy of your personal data for a period that allows Sol sem Fronteiras to verify its accuracy. It also applies in cases where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes of the processing but is required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defense of a right in legal proceedings. It is also applicable when you oppose the processing until it is established that the legitimate interests of Sol sem Fronteiras outweigh your own, as well as in the other cases provided for by law.

Right not to be subject to any automated decision
You have the right not to be subject to any decision taken solely on the basis of automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning you or significantly affects you in a similar manner.
