Photoconsortium takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the current data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.
3. Your rights
Revocation of your consent to the processing of your data
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal e-mail making this request is sufficient. Withdrawing a consent may lead to fewer possibilities to use the services proposed on the website (e.g. registration to the newsletter mailing list, registration to project’s event etc). The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Right to file complaints with regulatory authorities
If there has been a breach of data protection legislation, the person affected may file a complaint with the competent regulatory authorities. In case website visitors consider our processing of personal data to be inconsistent with the applicable data protection laws, a complaint may be lodged with the supervisory authority for data protection.

Website visitors have the right to have incorrect or incomplete personal data we have stored corrected or completed. Website visitors may also ask us to erase their personal data from our systems. We will comply with such request unless we have a legitimate ground to not delete the data.
Right to object
Website visitors may object to the processing of personal data if such data is processed for other purposes than purposes necessary for the performance of the Photoconsortium website. In case we do not have legitimate grounds to continue processing such personal data, we shall no longer process the personal data after your objection.

Measures include for example, where appropriate, firewalls and access right systems. Our security controls are designed to maintain an appropriate level of data confidentiality, integrity, availability, resilience and ability to restore the data.
Should despite of the security measures, a security breach occur that is likely to have negative effects to the privacy of website visitors, we will inform the relevant website visitors and other affected parties, as well as relevant authorities when required by applicable data protection laws, about the breach as soon as possible.
