The right to be informed

Helix is publishing this privacy policy to keep you informed as to what we do with your personal data. You can ask us for information regarding any data of yours that we keep at any time. This information concerns, among other things, the data categories we process, for what purposes we process them, the origin of the data if we did not acquire them directly from you and, if applicable, the recipients to whom we have sent your data.

The right to access

This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. You can obtain a copy of your data from us free of charge. If you are interested in other copies, we reserve the right to charge for the additional copies.

The right to correction (rectification)

You can request that we correct your data. We will initiate appropriate measures to keep the data of yours that we continuously process correct, complete, and up to date, based the latest information available to us.

The right to erasure (The right to be forgotten)
You can request that we delete your data provided the legal requirements have been met. In accordance with Article 17 the GDPR, this can be the case if:

the data are no longer required for the purposes they were acquired or otherwise processed;

you revoke your consent, which is the basis of the data processing, and there is no other legal basis for the processing;

you object to the processing of your data and there are no legitimate reasons for the processing or you object to data processing for the purposes of direct advertising;

the data have been processed illegally.

Where the processing is not necessary:

To ensure adherence to a legal obligation that requires us to process your data

In particular with regard to legal retention periods

To assert, exercise or defend against legal claims

The right to restrict processing
You can request that we restrict the processing of your data if

You dispute the correctness of the data - for the period of time we need to check the correctness of the data;

The processing is illegal but you do not wish to have your data deleted and request a restriction of use instead;

We no longer need your data, but you need them to assert, exercise or defend against legal claims;

You have filed an objection to the processing, though it has not yet been decided whether our legitimate grounds outweigh yours.

The right to data portability

At your request, we will transfer your data– where technically possible – to another responsible entity.

The right to object

You can object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons that arise from your special situation provided the data processing is based on your consent or our legitimate interest or that of a third party. In this case, we will no longer process your data.
