You may request access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing and portability of your personal data. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing. Newsletter subscribers can also withdraw consent by using the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter.
To exercise your rights, email [email protected] and identify the right you want to exercise. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency at aepd.es.
