  • When the data processing is unlawful and User requests restriction of processing instead of erasure of personal data;
  • When Maison Valère no longer needs the User's personal data for processing purposes and User needs the personal data regarding a legal claim;
  • For the period Maison Valère needs to assess the presence of the grounds for erasure of personal data.

User also has the right to object to the processing of their personal data at any time. Maison Valère will cease processing your personal data thereafter, unless Maison Valère can cite compelling legitimate grounds for processing your personal data that outweigh the User's right to object.
