In Short: Right now, we are not offering this in the future.
The APIs that we use to store and access cookies and other information on your devices. If you are a user
currently in the European Union, please look at our EU User Consent Policy.
Do Not Track
Currently, various browsers — such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari — offer a “do not track” or
“DNT” option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to Web sites’
visited by the user about the user's browser DNT preference setting. Equitia does not currently commit to
responding to browsers' DNT signals with respect to the Company's Web sites, in part, because no
common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or
regulators, including no consistent standard of interpreting user intent. Equitia takes privacy and
meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT
browser technology and the implementation of a standard.

Your Legal Rights
Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal
data.
You may have the following rights: -
A. Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This
enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are
lawfully processing it.
B. Request correction 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.
C. Request deletion of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal
data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask
us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to
object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or
where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that
we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons
which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
D. Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those
of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to
processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on 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, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to
process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
E. Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the
processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
a. If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.
b. Where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.
c. 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.
d. You have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have
overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
F. Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a
third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machinereadable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially
provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
G. 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.
