9.3 You have the right to withdraw your earlier given consent for the processing of your personal data.

9.4 You have the right to request that personal data about you be deleted if these data are no longer required in the light of the purposes outlined in Article 3 above or if you withdraw your consent for processing the data. However, we will evaluate a request for deletion against:

  • Overriding interests of Log Max, another company of the KF Group or any other third party;
  • Any legal or regulatory obligations or administrative or judicial orders which may contradict such deletion.

Instead of deletion, you can also ask that we limit the processing of your personal data if:

  • the processing is illegitimate, or
  • the data are no longer needed for the purposes mentioned in Article 3.

9.5 You have the right to oppose the processing of personal data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

9.7 If you wish to submit a request to exercise one or more of the rights mentioned above, you can send a letter or e-mail to Log Max or to another company of the KF Group to whom you sent your application or to the general e-mail address gdpr@logmax.com. An e-mail requesting to exercise a right will not be construed as consent to the processing of your personal data beyond what is required for handling your request. Any request must clearly state which rights you wish to exercise and the reasons for it if such is required. It should also be dated and signed and accompanied by a digitally scanned copy of your valid identity card proving your identity.

We will promptly inform you of having received this request. If the request proves valid, we will honour it as soon as reasonably possible and at the latest thirty (30) days after having received the request.
