12. Customer's rights

You have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us on shop@organicmatters.mu.

  • Request access to your personal data. This includes details of what information we hold about you and a copy of that information. The information will be provided free of charge and, unless there are grounds for extending the statutory deadline, the information will be provided to you within one month of receipt of your request.
  • Request rectification of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
  • Request erasure of your personal data. You may request to delete or remove personal data where:
    • there is no good reason for us continuing to hold or process it
    • you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below),
    • you deem the processing of your personal data to be unlawful, or
    • we are required to erase your personal data to comply with the law.

Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with such a request where it is necessary to keep your information for the purposes of establishing, making or defending legal claims.

  • Request objection to the processing of your personal data. You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data on the ground that it affects your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, HSL may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
  • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. You have the right to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
    • If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.
    • Where you deem the processing of your personal data to be unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.
    • Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
    • You have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

The information will be provided free of charge. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may decide, subject to our legal obligations, to delete your personal data in case we consider that you are making an abuse of your right to have access to your personal data in our possession. You will consequently bear the consequences of such erasure and we shall in no way be liable should we be unable to provide any services and/or comply with our contractual obligations to you following such erasure.

Please note we will generally also ask for confirmation of your identity and may need further information from you in order to locate the information, in which case the time period starts from the date we have that detail.  Please note that in some cases we may not be able to comply fully with your request, such as where your request also involves information about someone else and where confidentiality needs to be maintained.
