This information will be provided without undue delay subject to some fee associated with gathering of the information (as permitted by law), unless such provision adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others.


 

You may also request us to rectify or update any of your personal information held by us that is inaccurate. Your right to access and rectification shall only be limited where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy in the case in question, or where the rights of persons other than you would be violated.


 

Right to erasure

You have the right to request erasure of your personal information that:


 

  • is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
  • was collected in relation to processing that you previously consented, but later withdraw such consent; or
  • was collected in relation to processing activities to which you object, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for our processing.


 

Should we have made your personal information public and we are obliged to erase said personal information, we will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other parties that are processing your personal information that you have requested the erasure of any links to, or copy or replication of your personal information. This will be done whilst taking into account of available technology and the cost of implementation. The above is subject to limitations by relevant data protection laws.

  • a contract with you; or
  • based on your consent, or
  • the processing is carried out by automated means,

  • The processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal information and request the restriction of its use instead.
  • We no longer need your personal information for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by you to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • You have objected to processing, pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of Instacoins’ processing override your rights.


 

Restricted personal information shall only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest. We will inform you if and when the restriction is lifted.

Where the processing of your personal information is based on consent, contract or legitimate interests, you may restrict or object, at any time, to the processing of your personal information as permitted by applicable law. We can continue to process your personal information if it is necessary for the defence of legal claims, or for any other exceptions permitted by applicable law.

Storage of your personal information

We will try to limit the storage of your personal information to the extent that storage is necessary to serve the purpose(s) for which the personal information was processed, to resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and as required or permitted by law.


 

Your rights to personal information are not absolute. Access may be denied when:


 

  • Denial of access is required or authorized by law;
  • Granting access would have a negative impact on other’s privacy;
  • To protect our rights and properties; and
  • Where the request is frivolous or vexatious.


  We may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests.

  • be used by us for any further purposes; or
  • be sold or shared with third parties,


 

except as necessary to prevent fraud and assist law enforcement, as required by law, or in accordance with this Policy.
