Rights available to EEA Customers

You have several rights in relation to your personal data which are described in more detail below. You can exercise your rights at any time by contacting us at contact@vedsam.in.

 

 

Accessing your data

​

You can ask us to:

​

  • Confirm whether we are processing your personal data

  • Give you a copy of that data

  • Provide you with other information about your personal data such as what data we have, what we use it for, who we disclose it to, whether we transfer it abroad and how we protect it, how long we keep it for, what rights you have, how you can make a complaint, where we got your data from and whether we carry out any automated decision making or profiling. We aim to give you all this information in this privacy policy, although if anything is unclear, please contact at contact@vedsam.in.

 

You do not have to pay a fee for a copy of your information unless your request is unfounded, respective or excessive, in which case we will charge a reasonable amount in the circumstances. We will let you know of any charges before completing your request.

​

We aim to respond to you within 1 (one) month of receiving your request unless it is particularly complicated or you have made several requests, in which case we aim to respond within 3 (three) months. We will let you know if we are going to take longer than 1 (one) month in dealing with your request. If we have a lot of information about you we might ask you if you can tell us what exactly you want to receive. This will help us action your request more quickly.

 

​

Correcting your data

​

You can ask us to correct any data which is inaccurate or incomplete. This is free of charge.

​

If we have shared the data with anyone else, we will tell them about the correction wherever possible. We aim to deal with requests for correction within 1 (one) month, although it might take us up to 3 (three) months if your request is particularly complicated.

​

If we cannot action a request to correct your data, we will let you know and explain why this is.

 

​

Erasing your data

​

This right is sometimes referred to as “the right to be forgotten”. This is not an absolute right but you have the right to have your data erased, free of charge, in certain circumstances. 

​

You can ask for your data to be erased where:

​

  • it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected or processed;

  • we are processing your data based on your consent, and you withdraw that consent;

  • you object to the processing and we do not have an overriding legitimate interest for continuing;

  • your data has been unlawfully processed;

  • your data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation;

  • the data was processed to offer information services to a child.

 

There are some exceptions to this right. If one of these applies, we do not have to delete the data.

 

If we have shared your data with third parties, we will tell them about the erasure of your data unless this is impossible or would involve disproportionate effort.

 

​

Restricting the processing of your data

​

You can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in some circumstances, free of charge. This is not an absolute right. If processing is restricted we can store the data and retain enough information to make sure the restriction is respected, but we cannot further process your data.

 

You can restrict the processing of your personal data in the following cases:

​

  • if you contest the accuracy of your data, we will restrict processing until we have made sure the data is accurate;

  • if you object to our processing and we are considering this objection;

  • if the processing is unlawful but you do not want us to erase your data;

  • if we no longer need the personal data but you require the data to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

 

If we have disclosed the data to a third party, we will inform them about the restriction unless it is impossible or would require a disproportionate effort. We will tell you if we decide to lift a restriction on processing your data.

 

​

Objecting to the processing of your data

​

Objecting to the processing of your data is free of charge. It is not an absolute right but you can object to our processing of your data where it is:

​

  • based on the legitimate interests ground; or

  • for the purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics.

 

We will stop processing your personal data unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests and rights, or unless we are processing the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

 

You can require us to stop using your data for direct marketing purposes. We will stop as soon as we receive your request. There are no exemptions or reasons for us to refuse.

​

 

Data Portability

​

This allows you to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. It applies where the following conditions are met:

​

  • you provided the personal data to us yourself;

  • we are processing the data either based on your consent or because it is necessary for the performance of a contract; and

  • the processing is carried out by automated means.

 

We will provide your data free of charge in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable form. We aim to provide your data within 1 (one) month of receiving your request unless it is particularly complicated or you have made several requests, in which case we aim to respond within 3 (three) months. If we are going to take longer than 1 (one) month we will let you know and explain why we need more time. If we consider that we cannot provide you with your data, we will contact you and explain why this is.

​

 

Automated decision making and profiling

​

You have the right not to be subject to a decision which is based on automated processing and which produces a legal (or similarly significant) effect on you.

​

We will tell you about any automated decision making that affects you. You have the right to:

​

  • request human intervention;

  • express your point of view;

  • ask for the decision to be explained; and

  • challenge the decision.

 

​

These rights are not absolute. They do not apply if the decision is:

​

  • necessary for us to enter into or perform a contract with you;

  • authorised by law (e.g. for fraud prevention); or

  • based on your explicit consent.
