We limit the amount of personal data collected only to what is fit for the purpose, as described

You have the right to request access to any of your personal data we may hold. If any of that information is incorrect, you may request that we correct it. If we are improperly using your information, you may request that we stop using it or even delete it completely.
If you would like to make a request to see what personal data of yours we might hold, you may make a request from our company website.
Where you have previously given your consent to process your personal data, you also have the right
to request that we port or transfer your personal data to a different service provider or to yourself, if
you so wish.
Where it may have been necessary to get your consent to use your personal data, at any moment,
you have the right to withdraw that consent. If you withdraw your consent, we will cease using your
personal data without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before your withdrawal.
