If you wish to exercise your right to access, Castel Classics will comply within one (1) month of receiving the request.

You also have the right to have your personal data deleted by us without unreasonable delay. You can only invoke this right to be forgotten in the following cases:

  • When Castel Classics no longer needs the User’s personal data for the processing purposes, but the User needs it for a legal claim;

  • During the period Castel Classics needs to assess the presence of grounds for deleting personal data.

Additionally, the User has the right to object to the processing of their personal data at any time. Castel Classics will then cease processing your personal data unless Castel Classics can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh the User’s right to object.

If the User wishes to exercise these rights, Castel Classics will comply within one (1) month of receiving the request. The request must be made via registered mail or by email to info@castelclassics.com.
