5. Your Rights

At Maila.ai, we respect your rights as a data subject under the GDPR and the Swedish Data Protection Act. You have the following rights regarding your Personal Data:

  • Access: You have the right to request access to your Personal Data that we Process. This includes the right to obtain confirmation as to whether we Process your Personal Data, and if so, to receive a copy of that data along with certain information about the Processing.

  • Rectification: If you believe that the Personal Data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or complete it.

  • Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): In certain circumstances, such as when your Personal Data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, you have the right to request that we delete your data. However, this right is subject to certain exceptions, such as when the Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.

  • Objection: You have the right to object to the Processing of your Personal Data based on our legitimate interests (or those of a third party). In such cases, we will cease Processing your data unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue the Processing or the Processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

  • Withdraw Consent: Where the Processing of your Personal Data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of Processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided in the "Contact Information" section below. We will respond to your request within one month, as required by law. In certain circumstances, we may extend this period by two further months, in which case we will inform you of the extension and the reasons for it.
