Request the deletion of your personal information (known as the “right to oblivion”). This allows you to request that we delete your personal data when there is no valid reason to continue processing it.

Object to the processing of your personal data (known as the “right to object”) when we rely on a legitimate interest but there is something special about your situation that makes you want to object to processing for this reason.
