Your rights
Data Access and Portability
You have the right to request certain copies of your personal information held by us. In certain instances, you also have the right to request copies of personal information that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and/or request us to transmit this information to another service provider (where technically feasible).
Rectification
You have the right to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information about you (and which you cannot update yourself within your Wooda account).
Erasure
We generally retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us, to comply with our legal obligations, and as permitted by applicable law. You have the right to ask us to delete your personal information, subject to certain limitations and restrictions. Please note that if you request the erasure of your personal information:
- We may retain your personal information as necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as prevention of money laundering, fraud detection and prevention and enhancing safety. For example, if we suspend a Wooda account for fraud or safety reasons, we may retain information from that Wooda account to prevent that user from opening a new Wooda account in the future.
- We may retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations.
- Information you have shared withothers (e.g., Reviews, forum postings) will continue to be publicly visible on Wooda, even after your Wooda account is cancelled. However, attribution of such information to you will be removed.
- Some copies of your information (e.g., log records) will remain in our database, but are disassociated from personal identifiers.
- Because we maintain Wooda to protect from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time.
Withdrawing Consent
If we are processing your personal information based on your consent you can withdraw your consent at any time by changing your account settings or by sending a communication to Wooda specifying which consent you are withdrawing. Please note that the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing activities based on such consent before its withdrawal.
Restriction of Processing
You have the right to limit the ways in which we use your personal information, in particular where (i) you contest the accuracy of your personal information; (ii) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal information; (iii) we no longer need your personal information for the purposes of the processing, but you require the personal information for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or (iv) you have objected to the processing pursuant to Section 4.6 (below) and pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of Wooda override your own.
Objection to Processing
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information based on grounds specific to your situation if such processing is for direct marketing or is for a purpose based on a legitimate interest or public interest. If you object to processing based on legitimate or public interests we will no longer process your personal information for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such processing or where the processing is otherwise required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where your personal information is processed for direct marketing purposes, you may, at any time, ask Wooda to cease processing your data for these direct marketing purposes by sending an e-mail to info@gowooda.com.
