3.5. The right to ask us to restrict (i.e. prevent) the processing of your personal data, for example, if you have requested correction of your data, while we are correcting it.
3.6. The right to object to us using your personal data for a particular purpose or purposes.

There is not normally any charge for an access request. Exceptionally, a minimal fee may be charged if our administrative costs in responding justify it.
We will respond to your request within one month. If we are not allowed by law to grant your request, for example, because it would reveal personal data about another individual, we will provide reasons. If your request is more complex and more time is required to process it, we will ask you for an extension for another month. If you have any cause for complaint about our use of your personal data, please contact us at legal@opusvi.com. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection or privacy authority of your country. We would welcome the opportunity to resolve your concerns ourselves, however, so please contact us first.
