How did area obtain your personal data?

AREA has obtained your data because you have provided this data to us.

What are your rights?

Under the European General Data Protection Regulation you have a number of rights with regard to your data and the processing thereof:

Access

You may access your personal information and make any necessary changes in your account. If you would like to see which personal data AREA has obtained about you, you may exercise your right of access by submitting a request to AREA.

Making changes

If you wish to make changes to the personal information that you have seen as a result of a request for access and you are unable to make the changes yourself in your account, you may request that AREA makes these changes for you. You may request that AREA modifies, corrects, supplements, erases or shields your information.

Restriction of processing of personal data

You also have the right, under certain conditions, to ask AREA to restrict the processing of your personal data.

Right to object

If processing of your data takes place on the grounds of 'legitimate interest' by AREA or a third party, you have the right to object to that processing.

Portability of data

You have the right to obtain your personal data from AREA. AREA will provide this in a structured and commonly used format, which can easily be opened using commonly used digital systems.

Withdrawing consent

When the legal basis for a particular processing is your explicit consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent. This does not affect past processing, but does mean that we will no longer be allowed to process this data in the future. It may also result in AREA no longer being able to provide you with certain services.

Response from AREA

A request can be sent to info@area.amsterdam. AREA will comply with your request as soon as possible and in any case no later than one (1) month after AREA has received such a request. If AREA rejects your request, we will indicate in our reply why the request was rejected.

Recipients of your personal data

It is possible that AREA is required to submit your data to a third party, for example to fulfil a legal obligation.
