6. Your Rights

As a data subject, you have various rights. Those rights are not absolute and each right is subject to certain conditions in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 and to applicable national laws.

• Right of access (subject access) – you have the right to obtain from us confirmation of whether or not your personal data are processed by us, together with certain other information (similar to the information provided in this privacy policy) in relation to the manner in which they are used. You also have the right to access your personal data, by requesting a copy of the personal data about you. That means you can know and check that we are using your information in compliance with data protection laws. We can refuse to provide information where that would reveal personal information about another person or have a negative impact on another person’s rights.
• The right to rectification – you can request that we take steps to correct your personal data if such data are inaccurate or incomplete (if, for example, we do not have the correct name or address for you).
• The right to erasure – also known as the “right to be forgotten”, this right allows you, in simple terms, to request the deletion or removal of your personal data when, for example, there is not a compelling reason for us to continue using them or their use is illegal. This is not, however, a general right to erasure and there are some exceptions, for example when we must use information as defence in legal proceedings or to be in a position to comply with legal obligations.
• The right to restrict processing – you have the right to “block” or prevent the subsequent use of your personal data when we are assessing a request for rectification or as an alternative to erasure. When processing is restricted, we can still retain your personal data, but we can no longer use them.
• The right to data portability – you have the right to obtain and reuse certain personal data for your own needs across different companies (which are distinct controllers in terms of data-processing). This only applies to personal data with which you have provided us, which we process with your consent and for the purposes of the performance of the agreement, which are processed by automated means. In that case, we will provide you with a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or (when that is not technically possible) we can transmit your data directly to another controller.
• The right to object – you have the right to object to certain types of processing, for reasons linked to your personal circumstances, at any time, as long as the processing is being carried out for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by Builders & Partners Group. We will be authorised to continue to process the personal data if we can demonstrate that there are compelling and legitimate reasons to justify processing which prevail over your interests, your rights and your freedoms or if we so require for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If you object to your personal data being processed for the purposes of direct marketing, we will no longer process your personal data for such purposes.
• The right to withdraw your consent – when we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Such withdrawal does not, however, affect the legality of any processing which took place prior to the withdrawal.
• The right to provide us with instructions as to the use of your personal data after your death – you have the right to provide us with instructions for the management (for example, retention, erasure or disclosure) of your data after your death. You may modify or cancel your instructions at any time.

7. Changes to Our Policy

This privacy policy may be updated periodically. We will inform you of any substantial changes relating to the use of your personal data.

Before reviewing your request, we may ask you for further information for identification purposes. Should you not provide the requested information and as a result we are not able to confirm your identity, we may refuse to comply with your request.

If you are not satisfied with our response to your complaint or you believe that your personal data are being processed in a manner which does not comply with data protection laws, you can lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in matters of data protection. The CNIL (National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties) is the authority set up in France for the protection of data.
