  • - object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms; you also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes without your consent; in some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms;

  • - request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party - we will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly-used, machine-readable format (note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we use the information to perform any contract with you); and
  • - withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data - however, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent; if you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you; we will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you want to exercise any of these rights, then please contact us at legal@viasatworld.com.
