Notification of any rectification, amendment or deletion to third parties to whom the data have been disclosed might not be made when, at AT&S own discretion, this involves a disproportionate effort.
If you have any such request or believe that your rights have been infringed in any way, you may lodge a complaint with us by using the contact details stated above. You may also file complaints with your country’s data protection authority as listed in Annex B. We would, however, kindly ask you to contact us first, we shall endeavor to handle your concerns with the highest care.
