In some cases, you may request a limitation on how your data is used, so we would only retain it in accordance with current guidelines; in other cases, you may exercise your right to the portability of your data, which would be handed over in a structured format in common usage or machine readable, to you or to another party responsible for its processing as directed by you.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time to any of the uses you have approved.

The Instituto Cervantes has forms for the exercise of your rights which can be requested by email from rgpd@cervantes.es or you can use those prepared by the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos or by third parties.

You are entitled to make a complaint to the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos should you feel your rights have not been properly attended to. The maximum period to resolve a request is one month from its receipt, which can be extended for a further two months depending on the number of requests received and their complexity.
