As a data subject in the EU and Lithuania, you have the following rights, subject to the conditions and limitations in the GDPR and national law:

You can request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data, along with information about the processing.
Right to rectification
You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
You can ask us to delete your personal data in certain cases, for example when the data is no longer necessary or you withdraw consent (where consent was the basis).

You can ask us to restrict processing of your personal data in specific situations, such as while we are verifying its accuracy or the lawful basis for processing.
Right to data portability
You can ask to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to have it transmitted to another controller, where technically feasible and where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.
Right to object
You can object at any time to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling, on grounds relating to your particular situation.
You always have the right to object to processing for direct marketing.
Right to withdraw consent
Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

These measures may include:
Use of secure hosting and encrypted connections (HTTPS/SSL).
Access controls and limited access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.
Regular monitoring and updates of systems and tools.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
