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.
