Your rights as a citizen of the European Economic Area (EU) under GDPR

The Sponsor and BI WORLDWIDE respect Your rights to access and control Your personal information which include:

1) Right to information – This right provides You with the ability to ask Sponsor or BI WORLDWIDE, as applicable, for information about what personal information about You is being processed and the rationale for such processing.

2) Right to access – This request provides You with the right to see or view Your own personal information that is being processed, as well as to request copies of Your personal information.

3) Right to rectification – This right provides You with the ability to ask for modifications to Your personal information if You believe that Your personal information is not up to date or accurate.

4) Right to withdraw consent – This right provides You with the ability to withdraw previously given consent for processing of Your personal information for a specific purpose. Your request would then require the Sponsor to stop the processing of Your personal information that was based on the consent provided earlier.

5) Right to object – This right provides You with the ability to object to the processing of Your personal information. Normally, this would be the same as the right to withdraw consent, if consent was appropriately requested and no processing other than legitimate purposes is being conducted. However, a specific scenario would be when You ask that Your personal information not be processed for certain purposes while a legal dispute is ongoing in court.

6) Right to object to automated processing – This right provides You with the ability to object to a decision based solely on automated processing. Using this right, You may ask that Your input (for instance, a questionnaire You completed) to be reviewed manually, because You believe that automated processing of Your responses may not consider Your unique situation.

7) Right to be forgotten – Also known as right to erasure, this right provides You with the ability to ask for the deletion of Your personal information. This will generally apply to situations where You no longer participate in the Program. It is important to note that this is not an absolute right, and also must take into consideration the Sponsor’s rights.

8) Right for data portability – This right provides You with the ability to ask for transfer of Your personal information. As part of such request, You may ask for Your personal data to be provided directly to You, or transferred to another data controller or data processor other than Sponsor or BI Worldwide. When doing so, Your personal information must be provided or transferred in a machine-readable electronic format.
