By using the available functions, you can correct your personal data, receive a copy of it, or request the deletion of the Account and related personal data. Because we care about the security of our Users' personal data, requests regarding the exercise of your rights should be reported from the level of the ION account functionality. This is the only way we have a chance to verify whether a specific request was made by the data subject (User). In addition, remember that deletion of your data is possible only after the end of our services, i.e., after deleting your account from the ION platform. We also make every effort to ensure that appropriate functionalities are also available in our other services.
