6. Users' rights

In accordance with personal data regulations, Users have the following rights:

  • The right to withdraw his/her consent to the processing of his/her personal data at any time, for the processing carried out on this basis.
  • The right to request the deletion of personal data. However, data necessary to comply with a legal obligation incumbent on the Data Controller may not be deleted. Furthermore, data necessary for the fulfilment of the contract will be deleted at the end of the thirty (30) day notice period, as the request for deletion of the data will make it impossible for INTER RHÔNE to fulfil the contract.
  • The right to oppose the processing of their personal data, for legitimate reasons. The User is aware that the exercise of this right of opposition may render it impossible for INTER RHÔNE to fulfil all or part of the order when this right is exercised on data necessary for the fulfilment of the order.
  • The right to restrict the processing, allowing the User to temporarily freeze the use of certain personal data by INTER RHÔNE.
  • The right to portability of their data. In accordance with Article 20 of European Regulation n°2016/679, known as the "GDPR", the data subject has the right to receive the personal data that he/she has submitted to INTER RHÔNE, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and has the right to transmit this data to another data controller without INTER RHÔNE, to whom the personal data has been communicated, being able to prevent this.
  • Lastly, the right of the User to determine what becomes of his/her data after his/her death and to choose whether or not INTER RHÔNE may communicate this data to a third party that he/she has previously designated. In the event of death and in the absence of instructions from the User, INTER RHÔNE undertakes to destroy this data, unless it is necessary to retain it for purposes or proof or to meet a legal obligation.
