Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to restrict or stop the processing of your Personal Information in certain circumstances, such as where you exercise your rights to rectification and completion. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Information, for example, if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
