10. Your rights

The following section explains your rights. The various rights are not absolute, and each is subject to certain exceptions or qualifications. We will grant your request only to the extent that it follows from our assess-ment of your request that we are allowed and required to do so under data protection laws. Nothing in this Privacy Statement is intended to provide you with rights beyond or in addition to your rights as a data sub-ject under data protection laws.

The right to be informed: You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent and easi-ly understandable information about how we use your personal information and your rights. This is why we are providing you with the information in this Privacy Statement.
The right of access: You have the right to obtain a copy of your personal information (if we are processing it), and other certain information (similar to that provided in this Privacy Statement) about how it is used. This is so you are aware and can check that we are using your personal infor-mation in accordance with data protection law. We can refuse to provide information where to do so may reveal personal information about another person or would otherwise negatively impact an-other person‘s rights.
The right to rectification: You can ask us to take reasonable measures to correct your per-sonal information, if it is inaccurate or incomplete. E.g. if we have the wrong name for you.
The right to erasure: This is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’ and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your personal information where there’s no com-pelling reason for us to keep using it or its use is unlawful. This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions, e.g. where we need to use the information in defence of a legal claim.
The right to restrict processing: You have rights to ‘block’ or suppress further use of your personal information when we are assessing a request for rectification or as an alternative to erasure. When processing is restricted, we can still store your personal information, but may not use it fur-ther. We keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their personal information to be ‘blocked’ to make sure the restriction is respected in future.
The right to data portability: You have rights to obtain and reuse certain personal infor-mation for your own purposes across different organisations. This enables you to move, copy or transfer your personal information easily between our IT systems and theirs (or directly to yourself) safely and securely, without affecting its usability. This only applies to your personal information that you have provided to us that we are processing with your consent or to perform a contract which you are a party to, which is being processed by automated means.
The right to object: You have the right to object to certain types of processing, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time insofar as that processing takes place for the pur-poses of legitimate interests pursued by AgroHorizon or by a third party. We will be allowed to con-tinue to process the personal information if we can demonstrate “compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override [your] interests, rights and freedoms” or we need this for the estab-lishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling), which significantly affects you, subject to some exceptions. Where this is the case, you have the right to obtain human intervention, voice your concerns and to have the decision reviewed.
