In such cases, we will need you to respond with proof of your identity before you can exercise these rights. Please note that applicable law might require that we cannot comply with every request.

Under applicable law, you have, among others, the following rights (under conditions set out in applicable law): 

  • Right to access information about your personal data: At any point, you can contact us for a summary of personal data which is being processed, the processing activities undertaken, the identities of all those persons with whom your personal data has been shared by us along with the description of the personal data so shared, and any other information related to your personal data. 
  • Right to request correction: If your personal data is incomplete, inaccurate or misleading, or out of date, you can inform us about the inaccuracy, and your personal data will be corrected and updated. Notwithstanding the obligation on us to put in place all necessary means to maintain the accuracy of your personal data, you agree to provide us with accurate personal data at all times and you will notify us promptly upon any changes to your personal data. 
  • Right to request erasure: If you believe that we should discontinue processing your personal data, you have the option to request the deletion of your personal data, unless retention is necessary for a legal purpose. 
  • Right of grievance redressal: We are committed to protecting your personal data collected by us. However, in case of any act or omission regarding the performance of our obligation in relation to your personal data or in the exercise of your rights under applicable law, we encourage you to contact us using the contact details provided in point 11.

You can withdraw your consent at any time, to the processing of your personal data for which consent was sought earlier. You can withdraw your consent easily by contacting us on the details given below in point 11. The withdrawal of consent previously granted for the processing does not affect the lawfulness of the processing until the withdrawal. If you have consented to our processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, free of charge. However, opting out will result in cessation of the intended services. 
  • Right to make a complaint to the Data Protection Board of India: You also have the right make a complaint to the Board, in such manner and as may be prescribed by the Board. 

 

For exercising any of your rights, you can write to us at [email protected]. We will need you to furnish proof of your identity before you can exercise these rights. M&M may not be able to process any requests made in the event the user fails to identify themselves or if M&M is unable to authenticate such a user. M&M may also decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive, requiring disproportionate effort, jeopardizing the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical. 

M&M shall not charge you for fulfilling any of the above requests. However, if the fulfilment of any such request leads to certain costs being incurred by M&M, then M&M will notify you prior to processing such request. 

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and updated. Please write to us if the personal data given to us changes during the period for which we hold it.
