Individuals in certain jurisdictions have legal rights to obtain confirmation of whether we hold Personal Data about them, to access Personal Data we hold about them (including, in some cases, in portable form), and to obtain its source, correction, purpose of collection, update, amendment or deletion in appropriate circumstances. They may also object to our uses or disclosures of Personal Data, request a restriction on its processing, or withdraw any consent, though such actions typically will not have retroactive effect.
