8 Your rights

8.1 Our responsibility for your rights

n the capacity of data controller, we are responsible for ensuring that your personal data is processed in compliance with applicable laws and that you can exercise your rights. You may contact us at any time if you wish to exercise your rights. You will find our contact details at the end of this Privacy Notice.

 

We have an obligation to respond to your requests to exercise your rights within one month of receiving your request. If your request is complex or if we have received many requests, we have the right to extend this deadline to two more months. If we are unable to take the action you request within one month, we will inform you of the reason for the delay and of your right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority and to seek judicial remedy.

 

You will not be charged for requesting information, for communication or measures that we carry out. However, if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may charge an administrative fee for providing the information or taking the action requested or refuse to act on your request altogether.

8.2 Your right to access, rectification, erasure and restriction

You have the right to request:
Access to your personal data. This means that you have the right to request access to the personal data that we hold about you. You also have the right to be provided, at no cost, a copy of the personal data about you that we are processing. We have the right to charge a reasonable administration fee if you request further copies. If you make a request in electronic form, e.g. via email, we will provide you with the information in a commonly used electronic format. Moreover, you have the right to request a copy of the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses and its appendices that we use with any third parties, as mentioned in section 7. Rectification of your personal data. At your request or on our own initiative, we will correct, anonymize, delete or complement data that is inaccurate, incomplete or misleading. You also have the right to complete any incomplete personal data if something relevant is missing.

 

Erasure of your personal data. You have the right to request that we delete your personal data if there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing the data. Personal data should therefore be erased if:

* it is no longer needed for the purpose for which we collected it;

* we process your personal data based on consent provided by you and you withdraw your consent;

* you object to us processing your data based on a legitimate interest assessment and we have no compelling interest that overrides your interests and rights;

* we have processed the personal data unlawfully; or

* we have a legal obligation to erase the personal data.

However, there may be legal requirements or other compelling reasons that prevent us from immediately erasing your personal data. We will then stop processing your personal data for purposes other than in compliance with the law or where there are no compelling legitimate grounds for doing so.

Restriction of processing. This means that we temporarily restrict the processing of your data. You have the right to request restriction when:

* you consider your data to be inaccurate and you have requested rectification as defined above, while we establish the accuracy of the data;

* the processing is unlawful and you do not want the data to be erased;

* as the personal data controller, we no longer need the personal data for our processing purposes, but you need them to be able to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim; or

* you have objected to the processing as defined below, while waiting for us to consider whether our legitimate interests override yours.

We will take all reasonable measures possible to notify everyone who has received personal data as stated in section 6 above if we have rectified, erased or restricted access to your personal data after you have requested us to do so. If you request information on recipients of your personal data, we will inform you about the recipients.

8.3 Your right to object to processing

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data if our processing is based upon legitimate interests. If you object to such processing, we will only continue to process your data if we have compelling reasons for doing so that override your interests.

If you do not wish that we use your personal data for direct marketing, you have the right to object to such processing by contacting us. We will cease to use your data for that purpose when we have received your objection.

8.4 Your right to withdraw your consent

When we need your consent in order to process your personal data, you always have the right to withdraw such consent at any time by contacting us

8.5 Your right to data portability

You have the right to data portability. This means the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to request that these data are transferred to another personal data controller. The right to data portability only applies when the processing is being carried out by automated means and our lawful basis for processing your data is the performance of an agreement between you and us or your consent

8.6 Your right to complain

If you are not satisfied with our processing of your personal data, do not hesitate to contact us at the following email-address to lodge a complaint: Epiroc IT Service Desk, service.desk.it@support.epiroc.com, and label the email “Privacy Complaint”. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if you are not satisfied with our processing of your personal data. For EU and EEA countries, you can find your local supervisory authority here.

9 Protection of your personal data

We always want you to feel confident about providing us with your personal data. We have therefore taken appropriate security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration and erasure.

 

Even though we work hard to protect your data, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. Should a security breach occur that may materially impact you or your personal data, e.g. risk of fraud or identity theft, we will contact you to explain what action you can take to mitigate potential adverse effects of the breach.

 

We strongly advise you to be cautious and to protect your own personal data. You are responsible for keeping your passwords confidential and to avoid others from observing your personal data when using our services in public spaces.
