or information found to be inaccurate or deficient shall be corrected or amended as feasible, subject
to any requirement for such personal information or sensitive personal information or information to
be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes.
We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed,
corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that
are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the
privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information
residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case, where we provide
information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would
require a disproportionate effort. Because of the way we maintain certain services, after you delete
your information, residual copies may take a period of time before they are deleted from our active
servers and may remain in our backup systems.
To exercise rights applicable to you as a data subject, you must write to us
at connectwithus@viacom18.com and raise a request for the specified right. Kindly ensure you use
appropriate subjects to mention the right (e.g. Data Access Request, Data Portability Request, Data
Deletion Request) while raising all such requests, this would help us process your requests in a faster
and more efficient manner.
We may take 30 (thirty) days from the date of receipt of request to complete your requests. However,
if the nature of the requests are excessive in nature or would require significant effort then may ask
for an extension of 60 days by giving a prior notice to you with the reason for the extension.
We provide you the ability to exercise certain controls and choices regarding our collection, use and
sharing of your personal information. In accordance with applicable law, your controls and choices
may include:
a. Data Access and Data Portability
The EU – General Data Protection Regulation entitles you, as the data subject, to request copies of
your personal information held by us. You may also be entitled to request copies of personal
information that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable
format and/or request us to transmit this information to another service provider (where technically
feasible)
b. Rectification of Inaccurate or Incomplete Information
You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information concerning you (this is the

mail.

obligations and reasons of public interests in the area of public health. For example, we may keep
some of your information for tax, legal reporting, and auditing obligations.
Information you have shared with others (e.g., Reviews, polls, forum postings) may continue to be
publicly visible on the website, even after your account is cancelled. However, attribution of such
information to you will be removed. Additionally, some copies of your information (e.g., log records)
may remain in our database, but are disassociated from personal identifiers.
