4. Your rights
Below is a summary of the rights that you can exercise by contacting us.
Right to access
You have the right to request information about the processing of your personal data, free of charge. You also have the right to receive a copy of the personal data we process about you. This request should be made in writing to us, with a clarification of which information you wish to access. We will respond to your request as soon as we can. If we cannot meet your request for access to the information you are requesting, we will provide a justification for this. The copy of your personal data will be sent to your registered address, unless otherwise agreed with you in writing.
Right to rectification
The main responsibility for ensuring that the personal data we process is correct lies with Lime as the data controller. If you inform us that the personal data you have provided is no longer correct, we will promptly correct, block, or delete such personal data.
Right to erasure
You have the right to request that Lime deletes your personal data without undue delay. Personal data shall be deleted in the following cases:
(i) If the personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected;
(ii) if you have withdrawn your consent and the processing is based solely on consent as a legal basis;
(iii) if the processing is for direct marketing purposes and you object to the processing of your personal data for this purpose;
(iv) if you object to the processing of your personal data based on a legitimate interest and your interest outweighs ours;
(v) if your personal data has not been processed in accordance with applicable data protection legislation; or
(vi) if deletion is required to comply with a legal obligation.
There may be obligations that prevent us from immediately deleting all of your personal data. These obligations are imposed by applicable legislation, such as accounting regulations. If certain personal data cannot be deleted due to legislation, we will inform you of this and ensure that the personal data can only be used for the purpose of fulfilling such obligations and not for any other purposes.
Right to restriction
You have the right to request that Lime temporarily restrict the processing of your personal data. Such a restriction may be requested in the following cases:
(i) If you believe that the personal data we have about you is not correct and that you have requested correction in connection with that;
(ii) when the processing carried out regarding your personal data is not in compliance with applicable data protection legislation, but you still do not want your personal data to be deleted but instead restricted; and
(iii) when we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of our processing but we need it to establish, assert or defend a legal claim.
If you object to the processing of your personal data, the use of the personal data may be restricted while an investigation is being conducted. When restricting your personal data, Lime will only store your personal data and will seek your consent for any further processing.
Right to data portability
You have the right to request that, in the event we process your personal data with your consent or to fulfil a contractual obligation with you, we provide all personal data that we process regarding you and that is processed in an automated manner, in a machine-readable format. This can, for example, be an Excel file or a CSV file. If technically possible, you also have the right to request that we transfer your personal data to another data controller.
Right to object
You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data if the processing is based on our legitimate interest. In these cases, Lime will ask you to specify which processing you object to. If you object to any processing, we will only continue processing your personal data if we have legitimate interests that outweigh your interests. We will always inform you of this.

5. To whom do we transfer your personal data?
Lime may share your personal data with certain trusted third parties, such as suppliers who manage the recruitment process for us. The sharing of your personal data is based on the same purposes and legal grounds for which it was collected.
We will also disclose your personal data if it is required by law, government or court order or if we, as a company, reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to protect Lime ‘s rights.
6. When might we transfer your personal data outside the EU/EEA?
As a main rule, Lime only processes your personal data within the EU/EEA. Sometimes we may share your personal data with an operator in a country outside the EU/EEA. In such a third country, the GDPR does not apply. This means that you do not automatically have the same rights and protection for your personal data that the GDPR guarantees. We protect your personal data by either basing the transfer on an adequacy decision from the European Commission or by taking appropriate safeguards such as entering into the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses in combination with organizational and technical safeguards to ensure that your personal data remains protected. You can read more about which countries are considered to have an adequate level of protection on the European Commission’s website here. More information on standard contractual clauses can be found here.
We carry out a risk assessment before a transfer takes place and we implement technical and organizational safeguards to ensure an adequate level of protection. We transfer as few personal data as possible and anonymize the data before transfer, whenever possible. For more information on which protection measures we take on in individual cases, please contact us.
The following recipients outside the EU/EEA might receive your personal data:
Suppliers and subcontractors: We may share your personal data with suppliers and subcontractors located outside the EU/EEA. This may include providers of IT services, for example. The countries to which transfers can be made will depend on the circumstances of the individual case. For more information, please send an email to support@lime.tech.
Companies which Lime collaborates with: We may share your personal data with partners which are located outside the EU/EEA. The countries to which transfers can be made will depend on the circumstances of the individual case. For more information, please send an email to support@lime.tech.
7. How do we protect your personal data?
To protect your privacy, detect, prevent and limit the risk of attacks etc., Lime takes a number of technical and organizational information security measures. Lime also takes measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, misuse, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Lime ensures that access to your personal data is granted only to personnel who need it for the fulfilment of their duties and that they observe confidentiality.
8. Changes
We may from time to time make updates or changes to this information due to changes in applicable laws or regulations or due to changes in our personal data practices. We will notify you of any material changes that affect your personal data.
