To the extent required to carry-out the purposes set out above, we may transfer your personal data to third parties such as service providers (such as our IT service provider who has developed and maintains the E-World Platform), partners, government agencies and others (e.g., we may transfer information at an aggregated / group level, i.e. not traceable to an individual person).

Withdrawing your consent

Where processing is based on your consent (article 6.1. (a) GDPR or article XII.13 CEL), you have the right to withdraw it at any time.

You can do this yourself in the E-World Platform. Withdrawing your consent has no effect on the (legitimacy of the processing of) personal data that we have already processed; the withdrawal only applies for the future.

Please note that DPWAH may consequently be unable to perform its obligations under the Agreement. DPWAH rejects any and all responsibility in this regard.

You can also always withdraw your consent for direct marketing by following the instructions at the bottom of the commercial messages you receive or by contacting us via privacy.antw@dpworld.com.
