If after these periods, you have not deleted the Personal Data, we reserve the right to do so unilaterally, unless we are required by applicable laws to retain certain Personal Data.
What if the Participants have questions or requests about their Personal Data? Through your Account you have access to the Personal Data, where you can amend it, remove it or download it as you please. Should a Participant direct a question or a request about their Personal Data at us, we will forward this to you so that you can handle the question or request yourself. Taking into account the above and the nature of the processing we will provide further reasonable assistance to respond to the Participants’ requests for exercising their rights under the applicable personal data legislation.
