10.YOUR RIGHTS

You have certain rights regarding your personal data under applicable data protection laws (e.g., India’s DPDPA 2023, the General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act) or based on your use of our offerings. These rights include:

Access: You can request confirmation of whether we are processing your personal data, details about such processing, and a copy of your personal data

Erasure: You can ask us to erase your personal data if certain conditions are met. We are not required to comply with your request to erase your personal data if the processing of your personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Objection: You can object in writing to any processing of your personal data, which is done on the basis of our “legitimate interests,” if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our legitimate interests. If you object in writing to our processing of your personal data, we shall then have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests which override your rights and freedoms. In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. We will then cease the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.

Portability: You can ask us to provide your personal data to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or you can ask to have it 'ported' directly to another data controller, but only where our processing is based on your consent and the processing is carried out by automated means.

Rectification: You can ask us to update or correct certain information; we may verify the accuracy of the data before rectifying it. For certain information, you may be able to update or correct information by updating your personal setting within the Offerings.

Restriction: You can ask us to restrict (i.e., keep but not use) your personal data but only where: its accuracy is contested (see "Rectification" above) to allow us to verify its accuracy; the processing is unlawful but you do not want it erased; it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, but we still need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or you have exercised the right to object, and verification of any overriding grounds is pending. We can continue to use your personal data following a request for restriction where we have your consent to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another.

Withdrawal of Consent: You can withdraw your consent where processing is based on a consent you have previously provided. Your withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing done prior to your withdrawal of consent taking effect. If you have questions about how to withdraw a consent you had provided, please contact the Data Protection Officer at dpo@tanla.com.

Right to Nominate: A Data Principal shall have the right to nominate in such manner as may be prescribed any other individual who shall, in the event of death or incapacity of the Data Principal, exercise the rights of the Data Principal in accordance with the provisions of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023.

Right of Grievance Redressal: In accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, Information Technology Act 2000, read with SPDI Rules 2011, and its rules thereof, if a user faces any grievance with respect to this Privacy Notice, the user may contact the Data Protection Officer at dpo@tanla.com.

The DPO will address any discrepancies and grievances of the user with respect to the processing of information as per the timelines prescribed under the applicable law or, in its absence, within a period of 27 (twenty-seven) days.

Exercise of Rights: To exercise your rights, please write to dpo@tanla.com. We do not discriminate based on whether you choose to exercise your choices and rights and will not, based on your exercise of rights, deny the Offerings to you; charge you different rates (including through penalties or discounts/benefits); provide a different level or quality of Offerings. We will process any requests in accordance with applicable laws within a reasonable period of time. In order to properly process a request, we may need to verify your identity before taking any request-related actions.
