How can you exercise your rights provided under the GDPR?
Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to access, rectify, port and erase your data.
You also have the right to object to and restrict certain processing of your data. This includes: the right to object to our processing of your data for direct marketing, which you can exercise by using the “unsubscribe” link in such marketing communications, and the right to object to our processing of your data where we are performing a task in the public interest or pursuing our legitimate interests or those of a third party.

Account deactivation, deletion and Data retention,
We store data until it is no longer necessary to provide our services and home2work Products or until your account is deleted – whichever comes first, subject to any and all regulatory and legal requirements for data storage associated with activities undertaken via the Home2work products.
This is a case-by-case determination that depends on things such as the nature of the data, why it is collected and processed, and relevant regulatory, legal or operational retention needs.
For example, when you search for something on home2work, you can access and delete that query from within your search history at any time, but the log of that search is deleted after six months. If you submit a copy of your government-issued ID for account verification purposes, we may delete that copy 30 days after review, unless otherwise stated.
When you delete your account, you won’t be able to access this information later. Information that others have shared about you isn’t part of your account and won’t be deleted.
If you don’t want to delete your account but want to temporarily stop using the Products, you can deactivate your account instead.
To delete your account at any time, please visit the home2work settings.
