9. Data Subject Rights

You are entitled to exercise the following rights, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable legislation:

9.1 Right of Access

You have the right to access Data we hold about you and to be provided with a copy of the information (in most circumstances). Please keep in mind that we may not be able to provide you access to the Data when it involves information relating to others who have not consented to the disclosure of their information.

It is important that the Data we hold about you is accurate and current. Therefore, please keep us informed if your Data changes during your relationship with us. Furthermore, you can ask us to correct any Data it holds about you to ensure your Data is accurate. You may also ask us to complete incomplete Data held about yourself.

9.3 Right to restrict use of your Data

You have the right to ask us to restrict processing of your Data where one of the following applies:

  • you contest the accuracy of your Data; the restriction will apply until we have verified the accuracy or corrected your Data;
  • you have objected to the processing, and we are considering whether we have a legitimate ground which overrides this;
  • processing is unlawful, but you want us to restrict use of the Data instead of deleting it;
  • we no longer need the Data for the purposes of processing but are required to keep it in connection with a legal claim.

9.4 Right to Object to Processing of your Data

You have a right to object to processing of your Data in cases where we have used legitimate interests as the basis for processing. In such cases, we will stop processing your Data until we verify that we have compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms in asking us to stop processing the Data, or in limited cases where we need to continue processing the Data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

You have also a right to object to the processing of your Data for marketing purposes at any time either by following the instruction in each marketing email or by contact us directly using any of the contacting details of this Privacy Policy.

9.5 Right to Data Portability

In most cases, you have the right to receive all Data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit this Data to another Data controller, where technically feasible.

9.6 Right to request deletion of your Data (right to be forgotten)

You have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Data, where we have no legal basis to continue to process it. In such cases we will make every effort to erase Data where this right has been exercised by you and we no longer have a legal basis for processing, but some Data sets are impossible (or infeasible) to edit or remove (e.g., server backup or a piece of microfiche).

Please note that there are also certain exceptions where we may refuse a request for erasure, for example, where the Data is required to comply with a legal obligation, defend or pursue our legal rights and meet our obligations towards regulatory or governmental authorities.

9.7 Right to Withdrawal your Consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your Data in all cases you provided us with your consent, by contact us directly using any of the contacting details.

9.8 Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

If you object to our processing of your Data, you have the right to complain to the data protection authority (“DPA”) in the country where you reside, where you work, or where the alleged infringement of data protection laws has taken place. In Greece this is the Hellenic Data Protection Authority, details of which can be found via the following link: www.dpa.gr. We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the data protection authority, so please contact us in the first instance using the above contact details.

10. How to Exercise Your Rights

If you have any questions or concerns about how we process and use your Data or would like to exercise any of your rights above, please contact at info@mmedugroup.com.

This is a security measure to ensure that Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Where we receive your request to exercise one of these rights, we will respond without undue delay and within the time required by applicable law. This may be extended in certain circumstances, e.g., where requests are complex or numerous. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

We will provide the information free of charge, except where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, e.g., because of their repetitive character. In these circumstances we may charge a reasonable fee or may refuse to act on the request. We will advise you of any fees prior to proceeding with a request. We may ask for additional information to verify your identity before carrying out a request. This is a security measure to ensure that Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
