10. Protection Of Your Personal Data

We take the implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures seriously to ensure a high level of security for Personal Data, especially on the Login page. These measures aim to prevent accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access to Personal Data that is transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed.

While we aim for the highest standards, we cannot guarantee complete error-free handling of your Personal Data. We disclaim liability for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages related to the use or disclosure of your Personal Data, including but not limited to, unauthorized access or transmission errors beyond our reasonable control.

In some cases, legal or regulatory requirements may compel us to disclose your Personal Data to third parties, such as public authorities. In such instances, the level of protection offered by those entities may be beyond our control.

If you are a resident of the EEA:

You have the following rights concerning your Personal Data. To exercise them, contact us at:

A copy of the Personal Data undergoing processing will be provided. If requested electronically, we’ll provide it in a commonly used digital format. Reasonable fees may apply for additional copies.

This right does not extend to data that would compromise others' rights or freedoms.

Right to Rectification

You may ask Avara Ledgira to correct any inaccurate Personal Data. You may also submit supplementary statements to complete incomplete data.

Right to Erasure

You can request deletion of your Personal Data if: (a) it’s no longer needed; (b) you withdraw consent; (c) you object due to your specific situation and there are no overriding reasons; (d) you object to direct marketing; (e) it was processed unlawfully; or (f) deletion is required to comply with a legal obligation under EU or Member State law.

This right does not apply where processing is needed to fulfill a legal obligation or for legal claims.

Right to Restrict Processing

You may request restriction of processing if: (a) you contest the data’s accuracy; (b) the processing is unlawful and you prefer restriction over deletion; (c) we no longer need the data but you do for legal claims; (d) processing is based on our or a third party’s legitimate interests, but you object and we’re assessing whether those interests override yours; or (e) your data is used for direct marketing, including profiling.

Right to Restrict Processing

Should the processing of your Personal Data be restricted at your request, such data, apart from storage, will only be processed with your consent or for establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims, protecting the rights of another natural or legal person, or for significant public interest reasons of the European Union or a Member State.

Right to Data Portability

You are entitled to receive your Personal Data, which you have provided to the Company, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You may also transfer this data to another entity if processing is based on your consent or a contract and carried out by automated means.

Where technically feasible, you may request direct transmission of your Personal Data from Avara Ledgira to another organization. This right does not impact the right to erasure and must not negatively affect the rights and freedoms of others.

Right to Withdraw Consent

You can withdraw your consent for processing your Personal Data at any time. This does not affect the legality of any processing carried out before such withdrawal.

Right to Object

You may object to the processing of your Personal Data at any time on grounds relating to your specific situation, especially where processing is based on the legitimate interests of the Company or a third party, including related profiling. Upon objection, we will cease processing your data unless we can demonstrate overriding legitimate grounds or the need for legal claims.

Additionally, you have the right to object at any time to processing your data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling connected to such marketing.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

You are entitled to file a complaint with a supervisory authority in your Member State to protect your rights and freedoms concerning the processing of Personal Data.

Note: Your rights described above may be subject to limitations imposed by applicable European Union or Member State law.

We will respond to your requests regarding your Personal Data without undue delay and within one month. This deadline may be extended by two additional months if necessary due to complexity or number of requests. If an extension applies, we will inform you within one month and explain the reason.

Requests are generally handled free of charge. However, if a request is clearly unfounded or excessive, especially if repetitive, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act.

Avara Ledgira may request additional information to verify your identity if we have reasonable doubts about the requestor’s identity.
