Your consent is essential for NSM to process your personal data for certain purposes; however, if you choose not to give your consent, your visit to and use of our website will not be affected.

How long do we keep your information?

Our policy is to keep data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. However, in certain cases we may keep data for longer periods, particularly when the law requires it.

What are my rights?

At any time, you can:

1. Request access to the information we hold about you. As the holder of personal data, you have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not data concerning you is being processed and, where appropriate, to access your personal data and access the information provided for by law.
2. Request rectification of the information if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
3. Request the erasure of your personal data, and NSM is obliged to erase personal data when one of the following reasons applies:
   a) The personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or processed;
   b) You have withdrawn your consent to the processing of data (in cases where processing is based on consent) and there is no other basis for such processing;
   c) You object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate interests justifying the processing.
4. Request the limitation of the processing of your personal data if one of the following situations applies:
   a) You contest the accuracy of the personal data, for a period that allows NSM to verify its accuracy;
   b) The data processing is lawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests, in return, the limitation of its use;
   c) NSM no longer needs the personal data for processing purposes, but this data is required by the data subject for the purposes of declaring, exercising or defending a right in legal proceedings;
   d) you have objected to the processing, until it is established that the legitimate grounds of the controller prevail over those of the data subject.
5. Oppose the processing of your personal data.
6. If the processing depends on your consent, you have the right to withdraw it. If consent is legally required for the processing of personal data, the data subject has the right to withdraw consent at any time, although this right does not compromise the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent previously given or the subsequent processing of the same data based on another legal basis, such as compliance with the contract or legal obligation to which NSM is subject.

If you wish to exercise any of your rights, you should contact us. Your requests will be handled with special care so that we can ensure the effectiveness of your rights. You may be asked to provide proof of your identity to ensure that personal data is only shared with the data subject.

You should be aware that in certain cases (e.g. due to legal requirements) your request cannot be fulfilled immediately. In any case, you will be informed of the measures taken to this end within one month of the request being made.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the National Data Protection Commission.
