  • KPS no longer needs your Personal Information for the purposes of the processing, but you need them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;

Right to data portability
You have the right to request a copy of your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and also request their transmission to another data controller where technically feasible. This right is not exercised in all circumstances, it applies only if it fulfils all the following conditions:

Right to withdraw your consent

Other rights

If needed, you may also lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. This right may be exercised at any time and free of charge, at the exclusion of potential postal fees or expenses related to legal representation or assistance should you choose to engage third party assistance for the procedure. If you are in the UK, your supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office – we have included a link to their website here.
