11.3 Right to Deletion ("Right to Be Forgotten")
You may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent (for consent-based processing), or where you object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds. Please note that this right is subject to our legal obligations — for example, we are required to retain certain financial and identity records for regulatory compliance purposes even after account closure.
11.4 Right to Restriction of Processing
In certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of your data or object to processing, you may request that we restrict the data processing activities applied to your personal information.

You have the right to object to data processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling. You may also object at any time to the processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes, including profiling related to direct marketing.
11.7 Right to Withdraw Consent
Where we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing — for example, for sending promotional emails or placing non-essential cookies — you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
11.8 How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of the privacy rights listed above, please submit a written request to our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
