1. We may retain some of your personal information as necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud detection and prevention and enhancing safety.

Where you have provided your consent to the processing of your personal information by Vivebooks/Rainbow Disks you may withdraw your consent at any time by sending a communication to Rainbow Disks specifying which consent you are withdrawing. Please note that the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing activities based on such consent before its withdrawal.

Additionally, you have the right to limit the ways in which we use your personal information, in particular where (i) you contest the accuracy of your personal information; (ii) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal information; (iii) we no longer need your personal information for the purposes of the processing, but you require the information for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or (iv) you have objected to the processing pursuant to paragraph 7.7 and pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of Rainbow Disks override your own.

Objection to Processing and Profiling. You are entitled to require Rainbow Disks not to process your personal information for certain specific purposes (including profiling) where such processing is based on legitimate interest. If you object to such processing Rainbow Disks will no longer process your personal information for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such processing or such processing is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
