(Please note: depending on the country you live in and the applicable data protection laws, you may only have access to some of the rights listed below).

• Restrictions. You may have the right to restrict our processing of your Personal Data under certain circumstances. In particular, you can request we restrict our use of it if you contest its accuracy, if the processing of your Personal Data is determined to be unlawful, or if we no longer need your Personal Data for processing but we have retained it as permitted by law.

You also have the right to request that we transmit this Personal Data to another controller, when technically feasible.

• Withdrawal of Consent. To the extent that our processing of your Personal Information is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

• Right to Deletion. You may have the right, subject to some exceptions, to request that we delete Personal Information about you that we have collected or maintain. We will not delete personal information about you when the information is required to fulfill a legal obligation, is necessary to exercise or defend legal claims, or where we are required or permitted to retain the information by law.

Submitting a Request and Verifying Your Identity

You may exercise any of the above rights by contacting us through our website or any of the methods listed under Contact Information below, including by emailing us directly at info@standardintbank.com.

Please note that under California law, we are only obligated to respond to personal information requests from the same consumer up to two times in a 12-month period. Under both EU and California law, if an individual makes unfounded, repetitive, or excessive requests (as determined in our reasonable discretion) to access Personal Data, we may charge a fee subject to a maximum set by law.

Before providing information you request in accordance with these rights, we must be able to verify your identity. In order to verify your identity, you may need to submit information about yourself, including, to the extent applicable, providing answers to security questions, your name, and email. We will match this information against information we have previously collected about you to verify your identity and your request. If we are unable to verify your identity as part of your request, we will not be able to satisfy your request. We are not obligated to collect additional information in order to enable you to verify your identity.

The agent or attorney must provide this authorization at the time of request. We may require you to verify your identity with us directly before we provide any requested information to your approved agent.

Information collected for purposes of verifying your request will only be used for verification. If you chose to exercise any of these rights, to the extent that they apply, U.S. state law prohibits us from discriminating against you on the basis of choosing to exercise your privacy rights. We may, however, charge a different rate or provide a different level of service to the extent permitted by law.
