This is explained in more detail below. What rights do you have? Right to access and a copy Access – You always have the right to free access to your Personal Data which we process, unless such access is excluded by law. You also have the right to receive certain information about this Processing. More specifically, you are entitled to information about the following: whether or not the Personal Data is being processed; the Personal Data itself; the purposes of the Processing of the Personal Data; the categories of Personal Data and their retention period; the categories of recipients to whom this Personal Data is provided; the rights relating to this Personal Data; the source of this Personal Data, if it was not sourced from you; the existence of automated decision-making based on this Personal Data, as well as the underlying logic and consequences of that decision-making. Copy – Furthermore, you are entitled to receive a copy of your Personal Data, free of charge, to the extent that you are permitted to consult it in accordance with the GDPR. If you require several copies of the same information, Eurobend reserves the right to charge a fee for administrative costs. Right to rectification In addition, you have the right to demand that all incorrect or incomplete processed Personal Data be corrected or completed free of charge. If we determine that the Personal Data is indeed incorrect or incomplete, it will be corrected or completed. You may also request that Personal Data is temporarily not processed further (except in certain cases provided for by law) until the accuracy or completeness of the Personal Data has been verified and any inaccuracy or incompleteness has been corrected (except in certain cases provided for by law). See the section on “right to restriction of Processing” below. Right to data portability You also have the right, within certain limits determined by the GDPR, to ask us to transfer a copy of your Personal Data in a machine-readable format (e.g., XML) to you and/or directly to another institution or person of your choice. However, this right only applies to Personal Data that you have provided to us yourself. Right to withdraw consent If you have given us your consent for a particular Processing of your Personal Data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. We will then no longer process the Personal Data. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the Processing prior to the withdrawal of your consent. Right to object to the Processing When we process your Personal Data based on our legitimate interest, you may in certain cases object to such Processing. However, if the Processing does not involve a form of direct marketing, we may still proceed with the Processing of your Personal Data if this is necessary for compelling legitimate grounds. Pending an assessment of these grounds, you may request that we temporarily cease Processing the Personal Data in question (except in certain cases provided for by law). See the section on “right to restriction of Processing” below. Right of erasure If You believe that your Personal Data should no longer be processed (e.g., because this data is no longer necessary or is being processed unlawfully), you can request erasure of your Personal Data from our files. Instead of erasure, you may also request that your Personal Data remain stored but not be processed further (except in certain cases provided for by law). See the section on “right to restriction of Processing ” below. However, as the Data Controller, we are not obliged to remove Personal Data if it may or must still be lawfully processed in accordance with the GDPR. Right to restriction of Processing In certain cases, you have the right to request that your Personal Data be kept by us, but temporarily not be processed further. Apart from the cases mentioned under the right of rectification, objection and erasure in this Privacy Policy, you also have this right when we no longer need the Personal Data, but you still need them in the context of a legal action. In some cases, however, the right to restriction of Processing does not apply and We may still process your Personal Data. These cases are as follows: if you yourself have given Your specific consent for a certain Processing; if Eurobend itself needs the Personal Data in the context of a legal action; if the Personal Data must be processed to protect the rights of another natural or legal person; or for important reasons of public interest. How to contact us for this? Exercising your rights Contact point – To exercise your rights, you can contact us at the address mentioned at the beginning of this policy. Verification – If your request is unclear or if there is any doubt as to the identity of the person trying to exercise the rights on your behalf, we may request the necessary additional information. If the applicant refuses to provide the necessary information, we may refuse the request. Handling period – After submitting your request, you will receive a confirmation of receipt and we will let you know as soon as possible, and at the latest within one month, what action will be taken in response to the request. In case of complex or frequent requests, this period may be extended to three months after the submission of the request. If so, we will inform you of this. Free of charge – This request procedure is in principle completely free of charge. However, if your request is manifestly unfounded or if you make excessive use of your rights, in particular by repeatedly making similar requests, we have the right to refuse these requests or to charge a reasonable fee for the administrative costs. Questions or complaints Questions – For all questions about the Processing of Personal Data by Eurobend you can contact us by email (info@eurobend.com) or by letter at the addresses mentioned at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.

If you have any complaints, we ask you to first submit them to us, so that a solution can be sought. 11.Security measures to prevent loss, misuse or alteration of your Personal Data We use security measures to protect your Personal Data against unauthorized access and against unlawful Processing, accidental loss, destruction and corruption. However, information transmitted via the internet will never be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of the information you transmit to us. Once we have received the information, we do our utmost to ensure the security of our systems. 12.Transfer of Your data to outside the EU The Personal Data that you provide us is exclusively processed within the European Union. If a Processing of your Personal Data would be done in countries outside the European Union (“EU”), we will take the necessary steps to ensure that such processing is done in accordance with the GDPR, such as by using standard contractual clauses allowing a transfer of Personal Data to third countries. If you use our services while you are outside the EU, your Personal Data may be transferred outside the EU so that we can continue to provide you with these services. 13.Questions or comments?
