You Have Rights: Know Your Options When It Comes to Your Personal Information

In today’s digital age, personal information is more valuable than ever. That’s why IOB is committed to transparency and respect when it comes to your data.

Your Rights

  • You have the right to object to us using your personal information where we are doing so based on this being necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or for the purposes of a legitimate interest.
  • If you exercise this right, we will stop using your personal information in that way unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for us to continue to do so.
  • You also have the right not to be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling, which produces significant legal effects concerning you or otherwise significantly affects you.
  • Additionally, you may request deletion of your personal information (also known as “the right to be forgotten”) in certain circumstances.
  • Furthermore, you may ask us to transfer your personal information to you or another organisation in digital form (known as “portability”).

How to Exercise Your Rights

You can exercise these rights free of charge by contacting us:

When you contact us, we may ask you to identify yourself to help protect your information. We will respond to the majority of requests without undue delay and within a one-month period (30 calendar days) of receipt of the request.

International Transfers of Data

  • We sometimes need to share your information with organisations located or processing outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
  • This may be for educational programmes, partners, or other reasons.
  • We ensure that your rights are protected and only transfer personal information if it meets certain criteria, including countries providing an adequate level of protection or agreements compliant with EU requirements.

Making a Complaint

If you have a complaint about the use of your personal information, please let us know and we will do our best to correct things quickly. You can contact us in writing via email email protected. Alternatively, you may also lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission:
