YOUR RIGHTS, OUR RESPONSIBILITY

There are several rights immediately granted to you on providing us with your personal information, and some of these are mentioned above. At Saatnia Legal Services, we take your rights seriously and will always conduct ourselves in a way that is considerate of our responsibility to serve your legal rights.

Right of access

This grants you the right to confirm whether or not your personal data is being processed, and to be provided with relevant details of what those processing operations are and what personal data of yours is being processed.

If you would like access to the personal data we have about you, we ask that you contact us using the details below.

Right to rectification

If you notice that the data we have about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request we rectify the data.

Right to erasure
