You do not follow these instructions for requesting removal of the content; or

YOUR RIGHTS

Your rights are important but they are not without limitation. They may be limited by the law, the need to protect another’s privacy, our rights and properties or when a request to exercise a right is frivolous or burdensome. To exercise a right under applicable law or this agreement, contact us, verify your identity and tell us what right you want to exercise.

You have the right to access and to correct the information we store about you. If you request a copy of your personal information in our storage, we will give you a copy without undue delay. We will charge a fee only if it is permitted by law. This right may be limited by the rights and freedoms of other individuals. You can correct our information about you either through services or by contacting us.
You have the right to have your personal information deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or processed, or if it was collected for a processing activity that you now object to having performed, or it if you have withdrawn your consent for the processing that it was collected to perform. This right may be restricted if Company has overriding legitimate needs for the processing.
You have the right to withdraw consent to process your personal information. This right may be exercised at any time but withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawful nature of the processing or processing by a Third Party based on consent that you gave before withdrawal.
You have the right to restrict our processing of your personal information under certain circumstances as follows. You may restrict processing if you contest the accuracy of the information. This right is applicable only to personal information that you provided to us or that Company automatically collected. Invoking your right to restrict processing may result in an interruption of service while we verify your identity. You may restrict processing if it is unlawful and you request restriction of the information instead of erasure. You may also restrict processing if we no longer need the information for the purpose for which it was collected but it is important to you in order to establish, exercise or defend against legal claims or if you have objected to processing pending proof that our legitimate grounds for processing override your rights. If you exercise your right to restrict processing, we will inform you when or if the restriction is lifted.
You have the right to receive a copy of your personal information upon request. We will provide you with information in a machine-readable format that is structured and commonly used. Unless it adversely affects the rights and freedoms of others, we will provide the information directly to you or to another “controller” where technically feasible.
You have a right to object to our processing of your personal information at any time according to applicable law. We may, however, continue to process your personal information if it is necessary to defend Company against legal claims or for any other exceptions under the law.
You have a right to have us notify third parties with whom we have shared your information if you invoke your right to correct, erase or restrict your personal information. We will do this if you ask us to do so and if it is not impossible or requires a disproportionately great effort.
You have a right not to be subject to automatic decision-making based on profiling of your personal information which results in significant effects upon you, unless the law so permits.
You have a right to make a complaint about Company or its services. If you believe that we have violated your rights, please contact us so that we may resolve the issue. You also have a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority where you live or work or where the violation of your rights occurred.
