If you withdraw your consent to Prefixbox processing your personal data, this will not affect our processing of your personal data prior to that time.

We may limit these rights of yours if, for example, we need to disclose someone else's personal data to fulfill your request or if you ask us to delete information that we are required by law to keep or have a substantial legitimate interest in keeping. If we fail to address your concerns, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority.

In all other cases, the provision of the personal data requested is not mandatory, but may materially affect your participation in certain selection processes where the data is required for the purposes described above. When you request the deletion of your personal data or withdraw your previously given consent, the data will be deleted immediately, but this may significantly limit your ability to participate in the selection process.
