YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS
Subject to certain legal conditions and provided that the country data protection law recognizes these rights, you may request access to, rectification, erasure or restriction of processing of your personal data. You may also object to processing or request data portability. In particular, if the country data protection law so provides, you have the right to request a copy of the personal data that we hold about you. If you make this request repeatedly, we may make an adequate charge for this. Please refer to your country data protection law for details on your data protection rights. For any of the above requests, please send a description of your personal data concerned stating your name, customer number (or other Holcim identification number) to the contact details below. We may require additional proof of identity to protect your personal data against unauthorized access. We will carefully consider your request and may discuss with you how it can best be fulfilled. If you have given us your consent for the processing of your personal data and your country data protection law provides the possibility for you to withdraw your consent, you can withdraw the consent at any time with future effect, i.e. the withdrawal of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on the consent before its withdrawal. In case consent is withdrawn, we may only further process the personal data where there is another legal ground for the processing. If you have any concerns about how your personal data is handled by us or wish to raise a complaint, you can contact us at the contact details below to have the matter investigated. If you are not satisfied with our response or believe we are processing your personal data not in accordance with the law you can complain to the competent data protection supervisory authority in your country.
ARE YOU REQUIRED TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA?
As a general principle, you will provide us with your personal data entirely voluntary; there are generally no detrimental effects on you if you choose not to consent or to provide personal data. However, there are circumstances in which Holcim cannot take action without certain of your personal data, for example because this personal data is required to process your orders, provide you with access to a web offering or newsletter or to carry out a legally required compliance screening. In these cases, it will unfortunately not be possible for Holcim to provide you with what you request without the relevant personal data.
RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Your personal data will be deleted when legally required. We will in particular retain your personal data where required for Holcim to assert or defend against legal claims until the end of the relevant retention period or until the claims in question have been settled.
