1. Overview

At suuperstitch, we believe you should have meaningful control over your personal information. This page provides a clear summary of your data protection rights under applicable laws and explains how you can exercise them.

This page should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides full details about the data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.

2. Your Rights Under Indian Law

You have the right to obtain a summary of your personal data that we process and information about our processing activities.

Right to Correction

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data, subject to certain legal obligations that may require us to retain specific information.

You have the right to nominate another individual to exercise your rights on your behalf in the event of your death or incapacity.

Right to Grievance Redressal

You have the right to file a grievance with our Grievance Officer and, if unsatisfied, to escalate to the Data Protection Board of India.

3. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Right of access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
