You can also learn the logic underlying any automated processing concerning you (art. 7).
The right of rectification (art. 8). You can require the updating, rectification, erasure or blocking of data that does not comply with the law, in particular incomplete or inaccurate data. The controller must act free of charge and within a clear period of ten days (art. 8). In the event of refusal or silence, you may refer the matter to the National Commission (art. 8).
The right to object (art. 9). You may object, on legitimate grounds, to a processing operation, and object free of charge to the use of your data for direct-marketing purposes (art. 9). This right does not apply where the processing meets a legal obligation (art. 9).
