Do you have right to be informed of the personal data concerning you?

You have the right to receive a confirmation of whether personal data about you is processed by Biovian. In case we process your personal data, you have the right to receive a copy of the data processed. Please send your request for information by using the contact information given.

We will provide the information to you within a month of receiving your request. The fixed period may be extended by a maximum of two months in certain situations. If the period is extended, we will inform you of it within one month of receiving your request.

What should You do to supplement or rectify your personal data?

If you observe a shortcoming, inaccuracy or error in the personal data we have provided to you, you have the right to request your data is supplemented or rectified. The same right applies to outdated information.

Do you have the right to have your personal data erased?

You have the right to request Biovian as the controller to erase, for example, outdated information about you. In this case, the data must be erased immediately when there are no longer grounds for the processing. This right applies to situations in which personal data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected or if you withdraw your consent to the processing of data and the processing was based on your consent and there are no other legal grounds for the processing and it needs not be stored by law.

The right to demand personal data to be erased referred to in data protection legislation does not apply to situations in which there is a statutory obligation to store the data or the data needs to be stored to prepare, present or defend a legal claim.

Therefore, it is not possible to erase the data based on a demand during the period when it has to be stored in the above-mentioned situations.

However, we will erase your personal data without a separate request after the fixed period for its storage has expired.

Can you prohibit or restrict the processing of your personal data?

You have the right to have Biovian, as the controller, restrict the processing of data about you in certain situations. The restriction of processing refers to marking the stored data with the aim of restricting its subsequent processing.

In spite of this, your data may continue to be stored. You will be notified before the restriction is removed. You can exercise the right if you deny the accuracy of the data or lawfulness of processing, for example. Processing will be restricted while the accuracy of the data or lawfulness of processing is ensured. If the processing of data has been restricted, it may only be processed under certain conditions (e.g. with your consent or to prepare a legal claim).

The right to object to the processing of personal data referred to in data protection legislation does not apply to you. This right only concerns part of the grounds of processing (legitimate interest, performance of a task carried out in the public interest). We have not used these grounds of processing in your case.

Can you demand that your personal data be transferred to another system?

If the automatic processing of your data is based on consent or an agreement concluded with you, you have the right to receive the information about you, after which you may transfer the information to another controller. This only applies to information you have provided to Biovian yourself. We will provide the information in a commonly used electronic format.

Do you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time?

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time if the processing of your data is based on consent. Withdrawing your consent will not have effects on the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before it is withdrawn.

This document is based on the requirements of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.
