If User require more than one copy of the Personal Information MoDeCH holds about User, MoDeCH may charge an administration fee.

User has the right to receive a subset of the Personal Information MoDeCH collects from User in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and a right to request that MoDeCH transfers such Personal Information to another party.

The relevant subset of Personal Information is data that User provides MoDeCH with User’s consent, or for the purposes of performing MoDeCH’s contract with User.

However, MoDeCH may retain the Personal Information if there are valid grounds under law for MoDeCH to do so (e.g., for the defence of legal claims or freedom of expression) but MoDeCH will let User know if that is the case. Please note that after deleting the Personal Information, MoDeCH may not be able to provide the same level of servicing to User as MoDeCH will not be aware of User’s preferences.
