verifying the accuracy of the Personal Data you contest,
serving you in the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, even though HOLICARE no longer needs it,
verifying whether the legitimate grounds pursued by the data controller override yours in the event you object to processing based on HOLICARE's legitimate interest,

In the circumstances set out in Article 20 of the GDPR, you have the right to data portability, allowing you, where applicable, to retrieve from HOLICARE the Personal Data you have provided to it, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, to transmit it to another data controller.

HOLICARE will provide information on actions taken to the person exercising one of these rights without undue delay and in any event within one (1) month of receipt of the request. That period may be extended by two (2) further months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of the requests.
If HOLICARE does not take action on the request, it will inform the person without delay and at the latest within one (1) month of receipt of the request of the reasons for not taking action and on the possibility of lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority and seeking a judicial remedy.
The exercise of these rights is free of charge. However, in the event of a manifestly unfounded or excessive request, HOLICARE reserves the right to (i) charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs, or (ii) refuse to act on the request.
