Your Rights:
Data Subject Rights:
In connection with Friends Limousine's processing of your personal data, you may have specific rights under the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation. The explanation below applies to you only if the General Data Protection Regulation applies to you and the relevant data processing activity.
You have the right to request more information from us about how we process your personal data, obtain a copy of your personal data, correct your personal data, delete or restrict (stop any active processing) your personal data, obtain the personal data you provide to us for a contract or with your consent in a structured, machine-readable format, and request that we share this data with another controller if the sharing mechanism is available.
Additionally, you can object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (specifically when we do not need to process the data to meet contractual or other legal requirements, or when we use the data for direct marketing).
These rights may be limited, as is the case, for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person or your request to delete information that we are required by law to retain or that is compelling for our legitimate interests to keep. To exercise any of these rights, you can contact us or our data protection representative using the details provided at the beginning of this policy. If you have any unresolved concerns, and if the General Data Protection Regulation applies to you, you have the right to file a complaint with the European Data Protection Supervisor where you live or work or where you believe a violation has occurred.

When you give us consent, we may send you direct marketing materials related to our relevant products and services or other products and services provided by us or our carefully selected partners. In other cases where we ask for your consent, we use the data for the purpose we explain at that time.
When we rely on your consent, you can always withdraw that consent, although we may have other legal grounds for processing your data for other purposes. In some cases, we can send you direct marketing materials without your consent where we rely on our legitimate interests. You have the absolute freedom to opt-out of direct marketing or limit the data we use for direct marketing at any time. You can do this by following the instructions in the message sent.
