Any request for rights that ThePowerMBA receives will be resolved as soon as possible and, in any case, within a maximum period of 1 month from the date of receipt. In some cases, it will be necessary to request a copy of your identity card or other identification document if it is necessary to verify your identity.
We have listed the privacy rights for several jurisdictions below, but we understand you may have additional rights in your jurisdiction. You may contact us directly at any time about exercising your data protection rights. We will consider your request in accordance with applicable laws.
5.1 European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom (UK) Individuals
Right to withdraw consent
You may revoke your consent in relation to all processings based on it at any time. However, withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent prior to withdrawal.

You have the right to know what data is being processed, if any, and, if so, to obtain a copy of it, as well as to obtain information concerning:
the origin and recipients of the data;
the purposes for which they are processed;
whether there is an automated decision-making process, including profiling;
the data retention period; and
the rights provided for by the regulations.
III. Right to rectification
You have the right to obtain the rectification of your personal data or to complete them when they are incomplete.
Right to erasure
You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data if they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected or, where appropriate, if ThePowerMBA is no longer authorised to process them.
Right to data portability

When you have requested the correction of your personal data during the period in which ThePowerMBA verifies the accuracy of the data.
When you consider that ThePowerMBA is not authorized to process your data. In that case, you may ask to restrict their use instead of requesting their erasure.

Closure of your account and withdrawal
Remember that you can exercise your right of withdrawal to the contracted Program, as specified in the Terms and Conditions. In the event that you proceed to withdraw and/or close your account by sending an email to legal@thepowermba.com with a copy to legal@thepowermba.com, you will lose the right to use any benefits or services that you may have had active at the time of cancellation and/or have contracted previously.
In case you exercise your right of withdrawal and/or cancellation, all your personal data may be kept for a period necessary to ensure the exercise of the processes, legal obligations and to resolve any disputes.
All your personal data will be processed and kept to the extent strictly necessary to comply with the law or with the purposes described. Once the data has been cancelled, ThePowerMBA may keep it for a period necessary to guarantee the exercise of its processes and legal obligations and to resolve any disputes.

HOW DOES THEPOWERMBA GUARANTEE THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF YOUR INFORMATION?
The security of your personal data is a priority for ThePowerMBA.

Consequently, ThePowerMBA complies with the recommended security standards to protect them. However, it is impossible to guarantee total security due to the nature of the Internet and because there may be malicious actions by third parties outside ThePowerMBA’s control.
