You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port your data, and to object to processing. To exercise these rights email privacy@quickdown.nl. We respond within 30 days. You may also lodge a complaint with the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

Note: IP data subject to an active legal investigation cannot be erased until that obligation lapses.

We will notify registered users of material changes via email or an in-app notice.
