3. Your GDPR Rights

Under GDPR, you have the following rights over your personal data:

3.1 Right of Access

You can ask us for a copy of all personal data we hold about you. We will provide this in a clear, readable format within 30 days of your request.

To make an access request, email support@sharpguardian.com with the subject line "Data Access Request".

3.2 Right to Correction

If any data we hold about you is wrong or out of date, you have the right to ask us to correct it. We will make changes as soon as we can, and always within 30 days.

Email us at support@sharpguardian.com with the subject line "Data Correction Request".

3.3 Right to Deletion (Right to Be Forgotten)

You can ask us to delete all your personal data. We will do this unless we have a legal reason to keep it (such as a legal duty to hold records).

Once deleted, your data cannot be recovered. We will confirm deletion within 30 days.

Email us at support@sharpguardian.com with the subject line "Data Deletion Request".

3.4 Right to Restriction of Processing

You can ask us to limit how we use your data. This means we will store it but not process it further. You might use this right if:

  • You think your data is not correct and want us to check
  • The processing is unlawful but you prefer restriction over deletion
  • We no longer need the data, but you need it for a legal claim
  • You have objected to processing and are waiting for our response

Email us at support@sharpguardian.com with the subject line "Data Restriction Request".

3.5 Right to Data Portability

You can ask us to give you your data in a common, machine-readable format (such as CSV or JSON). You can then give this data to another service if you wish.

This right applies to data you have given us based on your consent or a contract.

Email us at support@sharpguardian.com with the subject line "Data Portability Request".

3.6 Right to Objection

You can object to how we process your data if we use it based on legitimate interest. Once you object, we will stop unless we have a strong legal reason to continue.

You can always object to direct marketing. We will stop at once, no questions asked.

Email us at support@sharpguardian.com with the subject line "Data Objection".
