5. YOUR RIGHTS
You may exercise any of the rights described in this section by sending an email to our Data Protection Officer at privacy@avenevv.com. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before taking further action on your request.

You have the right to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information concerning you.

If you wish to make (a) an access request for access to a copy of the personal data which we hold about you or information about the ways in which we use or disclose your personal data, or (b) a correction request to correct or update any of your personal data which we hold about you, you may submit your request via email to our Data Protection Officer at the email provided above.
Please note that a reasonable fee may be charged for an access request. If so, we will inform you of the fee before processing your request.
We will respond to your request as soon as reasonably possible. Should we not be able to respond to your request within thirty (30) days after receiving your request, we will inform you in writing within thirty (30) days of the time by which we will be able to respond to your request.

We generally retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us and to comply with our legal obligations.

-
We may retain some of your personal information as necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud detection and prevention and enhancing safety. For example, if we blacklist a potential exhibitor, sponsor, presenter or speaker for fraud or safety reasons, we may retain certain information from that exhibitor, sponsor, presenter or speaker to prevent that user from registering for events organised by us in the future.
-
We may retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations. For example, we may keep some of your information for tax, legal reporting and auditing obligations.
Because we maintain the ETS 2020 Pre-launch Website to protect from accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time.

Where you have provided your consent to the processing of your personal information by us, you may withdraw your consent at any time by sending a communication to our Data Protection Officer at the email above specifying which consent you are withdrawing. Please note that the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing activities based on such consent before its withdrawal.
Upon receipt of your written request to withdraw your consent, we may require reasonable time (depending on the complexity of the request and its impact on our relationship with you) for your request to be processed and for us to notify you of the consequences of us acceding to the same, including any legal consequences which may affect your rights and liabilities to us.

Whilst we respect your decision to withdraw your consent, please note that depending on the nature and scope of your request, we may not be in a position to continue providing our goods or services to you and we shall, in such circumstances, notify you before completing the processing of your request. Should you decide to cancel your withdrawal of consent, please inform us in writing in the manner described in clause 9 below.

In some EEA countries, we are relying on consent as a legal basis for using data for marketing purposes.
