These rights can be exercised by contacting the Company at: info@nft4artists.io attaching a copy of User’s ID. If the request is submitted by a person other than the User, without providing evidence that the request is legitimately made on User’s behalf, the request will be rejected.

The request is free of charge unless User’s request is unfounded or excessive (e.g. if User has already requested such Personal Data multiple times in the last twelve months or if the request generates an extremely high workload). In such a case, the Company may charge the User a reasonable request fee according to Applicable Laws. The Company may refuse, restrict or defer the provision of Personal Data where it has the right to do so, for example if fulfilling the request will adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

  • PORTABILITY OF PERSONAL DATA

User also has the right to receive his/her/its Personal Data, which he/she/it has provided the Company with, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and has the right to transmit those Personal Data to another Data Controller without hindrance from the Company.

These rights can be exercised by contacting the Company enclosing a copy of User’s ID at: info@nft4artists.io. If the request is submitted by a person other than the User, without providing evidence that the request is legitimately made on User’s behalf, the request will be rejected.

The request is free of charge unless User’s request is unfounded or excessive (e.g. if User has already requested such Personal Data multiple times in the last twelve months or if the request generates an extremely high workload). In such a case, the Company may charge the User a reasonable request fee according to Applicable Laws. The Company may refuse, restrict or defer the provision of Personal Data where it has the right to do so, for example if fulfilling the request will adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

  • PRIVACY BY DESIGN AND BY DEFAULT

The Company will, both at the time of the determination of the means for Processing and at the time of the Processing itself, implement appropriate technical and organizational measures, such as pseudonymization, which are designed to implement data-protection principles, such as data minimization, in an effective manner and to integrate the necessary safeguards into the Processing in order to meet the requirements of the Applicable Laws and protect User’s rights.

The Company will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures, in order to ensure that by default, only Personal Data which are necessary for each specific purpose of the Processing are Processed.

This obligation applies to the amount of User’s Personal Data the Company Collects, the extent of their Processing, the period of storage and their accessibility. These measures will ensure that by default User’s Personal Data is not made accessible without User’s intervention to an indefinite number of third parties.

  • USER’S RIGHTS

User has a right to ask the Company to rectify or update inaccurate Personal Data the Company Collects and Processes and the right to request restriction of User’s Personal Data pending such a request being considered. Where the Company Processes User’s Personal Data on the basis of his/her/its Consent, User has the right to withdraw that Consent at any time. The withdrawal of Consent shall not affect the lawfulness of Processing based on Consent before the withdrawal.

User has a right to ask the Company to stop Processing his/her/its Personal Data, to restrict the Processing of his/her/its Personal Data by the Company or to request deletion of his/her/its Personal Data.

User has the right to request erasure of his/her/its Personal Data that: (i) is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was Collected or otherwise Processed; (ii) was Collected in relation to Processing that User previously Consented to, but later withdraw such Consent; or (iii) was Collected in relation to Processing activities to which User objects, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the Company Processing.

User may request to receive his/her/its Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to have the Company transmit User’s Personal Data directly to another Data Controller, where technically feasible, unless exercise of this right adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others (Portability of Personal Data).

Users are entitled to object to the Processing of their Personal Data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling to the extent it is related to such marketing.

User is entitled to send a request to the Company for a copy of some or all of the Personal Data the Company Collects and Processes about the User. In certain circumstances the Company may Process User’s Personal Data through automated decision-making, including profiling if this should occur.

Where this takes place, User will be informed of such automated decision-making that uses his/her/its Personal Data, be given information on the logic involved, and be informed of the possible consequences of such Processing. In certain circumstances, User can request not to be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling.

The above-mentioned rights can be exercised by contacting the Company at: info@nft4artists.io, attaching a copy of User’s ID. These rights are not absolute (as sometimes there may be overriding interests that require the Processing to continue, for example), but the Company will consider User’s request and respond to User with the outcome.

  • CONTACTING THE COMPANY AND COMPLAINTS

The Company will answer any questions or concerns the User might have about his/her/its Personal Data.

If the User believes that the Company infringed his/her/its right, the latter encourages the User to contact: info@nft4artists.io.

Since Registration Data are stored on INFOMANIAK NETWORK SA’s servers located in Switzerland, INFOMANIAK NETWORK SA may also act as Data Controller of the Registration Data in accordance with its own internal regulation (especially in accordance with its terms & conditions and its privacy policy).
