You have the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and where necessary completion of incomplete personal data.
You also have the right to obtain the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay where one of the reasons specified in Art. 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes for which they were collected.
