This notification will be made via email or a prominent announcement on the Website as soon as possible and without undue delay, provided that it aligns with legitimate law enforcement needs or any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the integrity of the data system. 

RIGHTS OF PERSONAL DATA SUBJECTS

A visitor to the Website, or any individual whose data is processed by the WMG Foundation, has the right to access all their personal data that has been collected and processed. They also have the right to request that all personal data stored by the WMG Foundation be delivered to them in accordance with the applicable laws of the Republic of Serbia.

In accordance with applicable legislation, data subjects have the following specific rights:

1. Right to Information: The visitor, as the owner of personal data, has the right to be informed about whether the WMG Foundation, as the data controller, is processing their personal data and in what manner.
2. Right to Access: The visitor has the right to access their personal data to verify whether it is being processed and whether the processing complies with the law. This right includes reviewing, reading, listening to, and taking notes on the data.
3. Right to Rectification: The visitor has the right to request the correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data without undue delay. They also have the right to supplement incomplete data, including by providing an additional statement, to ensure the accuracy of such information and to guarantee proper and lawful data processing.
4. Right to Erasure (Right to Withdraw Consent): The visitor has the right to request that the WMG Foundation delete information about them and cease processing their data. This request can be initiated by the visitor through the data deletion process as described on the Website, with any consequences specified during the deletion process. The visitor has this right when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose of processing, when they have withdrawn their consent, when they have objected to data processing, when they believe the processing was unlawful, or when the data must be deleted to comply with the WMG Foundation’s legal obligations. Exceptions to this right exist if the deletion or modification of personal data would prevent investigations, detection, or prosecution of criminal acts or impede claims in civil disputes.
5. Right to Withdraw Consent for Data Processing: The visitor to the Website who owns personal data may withdraw their consent for data processing (hereinafter referred to as “Withdrawal”) at any time by sending an explicit Withdrawal notice in writing to the email address of the WMG Foundation specified in the “Contact” section.

In the event of a Withdrawal, the WMG Foundation is obligated to delete all data about the visitor that it collected prior to the Withdrawal.
6. Right to Restrict Processing: The visitor has the right to request that the WMG Foundation restrict the processing of their data (using this right may result in the inability to continue using the Website or services provided by the WMG Foundation). The visitor can exercise this right if they dispute the accuracy of their data, consider the processing unlawful, believe the data is no longer needed by the WMG Foundation, or have objected to data processing. In such cases, the WMG Foundation may only store the data. Any further processing is permitted only with the individual’s consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, or to protect the rights of others.
7. Right to Data Portability: The visitor has the right to request the transfer of their personal data to another data controller.
8. Right to Object to Data Processing: If the legal basis for data processing is the consent of the individual who owns the personal data being processed, that individual is entitled to object to the processing of their data at any time if they deem it justified. The WMG Foundation is obligated to cease processing the data of the individual who has submitted the objection, unless the WMG Foundation demonstrates that there are legal grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, or freedoms of the individual, or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

1. Right to Lodge a Complaint: If the visitor believes that any of their rights have been violated or that their data has been processed contrary to the law, they may file an official complaint with the Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and Personal Data Protection of the Republic of Serbia at 15 Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra, 11000 Belgrade. Filing a complaint with the Commissioner does not affect the individual’s right to pursue other administrative or judicial remedies.
