Your rights will be exercised in our systems and procedures no later than 30 days after we have received your application. If we are unable to meet this deadline for any reason, we will inform you before the original period lapses.

8.1. You may inspect your personal data

You have the right to gain access to your personal data that we process, the purpose of the processing, where we obtained the data, and who has received the data.

In this case, you can also learn about how long we store the data, whether the data is used for performing automated decision-making and whether we intend to send the data to a country outside of the European Union.

We will send you the information requested in writing or electronically.

Please be as specific as possible if you wish to exercise your rights. In this way, we will be able to correctly handle your request.

In order to prevent someone else from exercising your rights, we would like to verify your identity as carefully as possible. For this reason, you should always send a document with your application that proves that the identity of the applicant corresponds to your identity. You can do this by enclosing a copy of your identity card with the application. When doing this, you should redact information such as your photo and identity card number to protect your privacy.

We will inform you if we believe that the document you submit does not contain sufficient proof. We reserve the right not to handle your application until you have provided sufficient proof.
