b. Right of rectification
Degré 12 guarantees the right of rectification and deletion of personal data to the user.
In accordance with article 16 of the Regulation, incorrect, inaccurate or irrelevant data can be corrected or deleted at any time. The User shall first make the necessary changes themselves from their user/other account, unless these cannot be made independently, in which case the request can be made to Degré 12.
In accordance with article 19 of the Regulation, the controller shall notify each recipient to whom personal data has been disclosed of any rectification of the personal data, unless such disclosure proves impossible or would require disproportionate effort. The Data Controller shall provide the data subject with information on these recipients on request.

The User has the right to obtain the deletion of their personal data as soon as possible in the cases listed in article 17 of the Regulation.
Where the Data Controller has made the personal data public and is required to delete this pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Data Controller shall, taking into account the available technology and the costs of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical steps, to inform the other data controllers processing such personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion by such data controllers of any link to, or any copy or reproduction of, such personal data.
The two preceding paragraphs shall not apply to the extent that such processing is necessary:
• for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;
• to comply with a legal obligation requiring the processing set out by Union law or by the law of the Member State to which the controller is subject, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the data controller;
• the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
In accordance with article 19 of the Regulation, the Data Controller shall notify each recipient to whom personal data has been disclosed of any deletion of personal data or restriction of processing, unless such disclosure proves impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort. The Data Controller shall provide the data subject with information on these recipients on request.

When the User exercises their right to data portability in accordance with the previous paragraph, they have the right to have their personal data transmitted directly from one data controller to another, where technically possible.
The exercise of the right to data portability is without prejudice to the right to deletion. This right shall not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the data controller.
The right to data portability does not affect the rights and freedoms of third parties.
f. Right to object and automated individual decision making
The User has the right at any time to object to the processing of their personal data due to their particular situation, including the automation of data by Degré 12. In accordance with article 21 of the Regulation, Degré 12 will no longer process personal data unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests and rights and freedoms of the User, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data is processed for the purpose of canvassing, the User has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such canvassing purposes, including profiling in as far as it is linked to such canvassing.
Where the data subject objects to the processing for canvassing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for those purposes.
