The Individual also has the right to ask for the restriction of the processing or to object to the processing as well as the right to data portability (as the case may be).
When applicable, the Individual has the right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent made prior to such withdrawal.
The Individual may exercise these rights by sending an email to the Supplier at legal@sweepbright.com, together with a copy of her/his identity card or other identification document. In addition, the Individuals may object to the processing of such Individual’s Personal Data for direct marketing purposes at any time, free of charge and without having to provide a justification by following the abovementioned procedure.
The Individual also has a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in particular in the Member State of the European Union of its usual place of residence, place of work or the place where the violation occurred) if the Individual considers that the processing of its own Individual’s Personal Data infringes the Data Protection Legislation.
