Accordingly, you should read the relevant laws and guidance from the regulatory authorities for a full explanation of these rights.

(a) the right to access;

(b) the right to rectification;

(d) the right to restrict processing;

(e) the right to object to processing;

(f) the right to data portability;

(g) the right to complain to a supervisory authority; and

(h) the right to withdraw consent.

That additional information includes details of the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of the personal data.
