• You can request for access, correction, updates, an order to stop processing, or deletion of your personal information. However, Medit may refuse to accede to the request if there are special provisions in the law, if there is a need to comply with statutory obligations, or if there is a risk of harming other people or of unjustifiably infringing property or interest of others. The request may also be suspended if it leads to an inability to fulfill a contract, such as not providing services you have agreed to, and if you have not clearly stated your intention to terminate the contract.

• You can object to the processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict processing of your personal information or request portability of your personal information.

• If we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time.

• ​To exercise any of these rights, please contact MEDIT corp at mktg@medit.com or by mail to Medit corp, 23 Goryeodae-ro 22 gil, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul, Korea. We will respond to your request to change, correct, or delete your information within a reasonable timeframe and notify you of the action we have taken.
