GDPR Process for Exercising Data Subject’s Rights in Personal Data
For those users of our Services from within the European Union and for which GDPR applies, we have created the following mechanisms and practices to provide you with the following control over your personal information that comprises GDPR Personal Data:

What are your rights?

By law, if any of your personal information/Personal Data provided to Rafaella Pedroso is subject to GDPR in the European Union, you have a number of rights when it comes to your personal information/Personal Data. Further information and advice about your rights can be obtained from the data protection regulator in your country.

IMPORTANT: When you contact Rafaella Pedroso to exercise your rights described below, it is very important for security verification and other purposes that you use any email address that you know is associated with the personal information/Personal Data about which you are contacting Rafaella Pedroso

The right to object to processing. You have the right to object to certain types of processing, including processing for direct marketing (i.e. if you no longer want to be contacted with potential opportunities).
The right to be informed. You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent, and easily understandable information about how we use your Personal Data and your rights. This is why we are providing you with the information in this privacy policy and also are available if you want information that you do not believe this privacy policy provides.
The right of access. You have the right to obtain access to your Personal Data (if we are processing it), and certain other information about or privacy practices with respect to your Personal Data (similar to that provided in this privacy policy). This is so you are aware and can check that we are using your information in accordance with GDPR or any other applicable data protection laws.
The right to rectification. You are entitled to have your information corrected if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
The right to erasure. This is also known as “the right to be forgotten” and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your personal information/Personal Data where there’s no compelling reason for us to keep using it. This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions.
(NOTE: Consistent with GDPR, Rafaella Pedroso may retain a trivial amount of information to keep a record of its compliance with your request.)

The right to restrict processing. You have rights to “block” or suppress further use of your personal information/Personal Data that Rafaella Pedroso processes. When processing is restricted, we can still store your personal information/Personal Data, but may not use it further. We keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their information to be “blocked” to make sure the restriction is respected in future. For clarity, if you do make these requests, it does not mean that anything we have done with your personal information/Personal Data with your consent up to that point is unlawful.
The right to data portability. You have rights to obtain and reuse your personal information/Personal Data for your own purposes across different services. For example, if you decide to switch to a new provider of services like the Services from Rafaella Pedroso that you subscribed to, this enables you to move, copy, or transfer your personal information/Personal Data easily between our IT systems and theirs safely and securely, without affecting its usability.
(NOTE: Rafaella Pedroso will retain and continue to process your personal information/Personal Data unless you also request to be forgotten or request restricted or blocked processing.)

The right to lodge a complaint. You have the right to lodge a complaint about the way we handle or process your personal information/Personal Data with your national data protection regulator. However, we hope you will contact us first so can try to address your complaint directly.
The right to withdraw consent. If you have given your consent to anything we do with your personal information/Personal Data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This includes your right to withdraw consent to us using your personal information/Personal Data for marketing purposes.
Rafaella Pedroso’s Retention of Personal Data Under GDPR and Other Applicable Laws
We only retain your personal information/Personal Data for as long as is necessary for us to use your information as described above or to comply with our legal obligations and legitimate interests. Please be advised that this means that we may retain some of your personal information/Personal Data after you cease to use our Services. For instance, we may retain your data as necessary to meet our legal obligations, such as for tax and accounting purposes.

When determining the relevant period in which we retain or establish/revise periods for retaining personal information/Personal Data, we will take the following factors into account:

Our contractual obligations and rights in relation to the information involved;
Legal obligation(s) under applicable law to retain data for a certain period of time or with respect to pending or anticipated legal actions;
Our legitimate interest where we weigh your interest in controlling your Personal Data and against our lawful purpose in processing your Personal Data;
Statutes of limitations under applicable law(s);
If you have made a request to have your information deleted; and
Guidelines issued by relevant data protection authorities.
Otherwise, pursuant to GDPR, we will securely erase your personal information/Personal Data once there is no lawful basis or legal obligation to store or process it.

Your Rights Under California Privacy Statutes
California Civil Code Section § 1798.83 permits users of our Services that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to hi@rafaellapedroso.com.
