Right of restriction
You may request GNM Healthcare to cease any further processing of your Personal Data if:
- you declare that the Personal Data held about you is incorrect, subject to the time GNM Healthcare needs to verify the accuracy of the Personal Data concerned ;
- there is no legal basis for GNM Healthcare to process your Personal Data, and you require GNM Healthcare to cease processing your Personal Data ;
- GNM Healthcare no longer needs to retain your Personal Data, but you declare that you require GNM Healthcare to retain it in order to assert or exercise legal rights or defend against third party claims ;
- you object to the processing of your Personal Data by GNM Healthcare based on a legitimate interest of GNM Healthcare (as defined below), subject to the time necessary for GNM Healthcare to determine whether there is an overriding interest or legal obligation requiring the processing of your Personal Data.
Right to object
If and to the extent that GNM Healthcare processes your Personal Data based on a GNM Healthcare Legitimate Interest, in particular where GNM Healthcare pursues its legitimate interest in carrying out marketing activities, you may object to such use of your Personal Data at any time. GNM Healthcare will immediately stop processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes once you have made such a request. In all other cases, GNM Healthcare will carefully consider your objection and will thereafter cease to use the information concerned unless there are compelling and legitimate reasons for GNM Healthcare to continue to use such information which may override the reason for your objection, or if GNM Healthcare needs the information in question to assert, exercise and defend its legal rights.
Right to revoke your consent
Whenever GNM Healthcare processes your Personal Data based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing or sending us a notice of withdrawal. In the event of withdrawal of consent, GNM Healthcare will no longer process the Personal Data subject to such consent, unless required to do so by law. If GNM Healthcare is required to retain your Personal Data for legal reasons, it will not be further processed and will only be retained for the period required by law. Nevertheless, a withdrawal of consent has no effect on previous processing of Personal Data carried out by GNM Healthcare up to the time of your withdrawal. Furthermore, if your use of a GNM Healthcare offer requires your prior consent, GNM Healthcare will no longer be able to provide you with the service concerned.
Right to file a complaint
If you believe that GNM Healthcare is not processing your Personal Data in accordance with the requirements set out in this privacy statement or applicable data protection laws, you may at any time, in accordance with applicable law, make a complaint to the relevant local data protection authority, in particular if you reside in an EEA country, or to the data protection authority of the country or state where GNM Healthcare's registered office is located.

How does GNM Healthcare justify international data transfers?
GNM Healthcare is part of an international group of companies operating worldwide and as such works with affiliated companies (the "GNM Healthcare Group") and third-party service providers located outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). GNM Healthcare may transfer your Personal Data to countries outside the EEA as part of its international business activities. If we transfer Personal Data from an EU or EEA country to a country outside the EEA for which the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision, GNM Healthcare uses the EU Standard Contractual Clauses to contractually require the data importer to ensure a level of data protection consistent with that of the EEA to protect your Personal Data. You can obtain a copy (redacted to remove commercial or irrelevant information) of said standard contractual clauses by sending a request to dpo@gnmhealtcare.com. You can also obtain further information on the international dimension of data protection from the European Commission here.
