F. Rights of persons affected
Data privacy laws provide you with a number of rights regarding your personal data. You may be entitled to:
Right of access
You have the right to request information regarding what personal data we process about you or your company. The request for information must be submitted in writing to us at info@horizonyacht.com. Requests shall be answered within 15 days.
Right to correction
You can ask us to correct your data. We will then take reasonable steps to keep your information up-to-date, and process it in a timely, complete, and accurate manner based on the most up-to-date information available to us.
Right to deletion
You can demand that we delete your data, provided that the legal prerequisites exist. Right to restriction of processing You may ask that we restrict the processing of your data if:
・You deny the accuracy of the data for the period which we need to check to verify the accuracy of the data.

・The processing is unlawful, and you refuse the deletion of your data and instead demand the restriction of its use.

・We no longer need your information, but you need it to enforce, exercise or defend your rights.

Right to data portability
We will transfer your data upon your request – as far as this is technically possible – to another person in charge. However, you are only entitled to this right if the data processing is based on your consent or is required to carry out a contract. Instead of receiving a copy of your data, you may also ask us to submit the data directly to another person in charge who you specify.
Right to objection
You may object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons that arise from your particular situation if the data processing is based on your consent or on our legitimate interests or those of a third party. In this case, we will no longer process your data. The latter does not apply if we can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, or we need your data to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Right to complain
You may complain to your local data protection authority if your privacy rights are violated, or if you have suffered as a result of unlawful processing of your personal information.
