This right is known as an “Individual Request.”

RIGHT TO ERASURE:
In certain circumstances, you may be entitled to ask us to erase your Personal Information.

RIGHT TO OBJECT:

  • We no longer need your Personal Information for the purposes of processing, but it is required by you for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
