Access, rectification, erasure
Data subjects have the right (i) to obtain from aws and/or FFG confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them are being processed, and, where that is the case obtain access to the personal data, (ii) to request the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them and (iii), under certain circumstances, to request the erasure of the personal data concerning them.
Objection
Data subjects have the right to object to the processing of their personal data. In this case, aws and FFG shall no longer process the personal data unless (i) they can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or (ii) the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Restriction of processing
Data subjects shall have the right to request from aws and FFG the restriction of processing if (i) they contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning them, for a period enabling aws to verify the accuracy of the data, (ii) the processing is unlawful and the data subjects oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead, (iii) aws and FFG no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or (iv) they have objected to the processing pending the verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
Data portability
The data subjects also have the right under certain circumstances to receive the personal data concerning them which they have provided to aws and FFG and instruct aws or FFG to transmit these data directly to third parties.
