- Pursuant to the Privacy Shield Frameworks, EU and Swiss individuals have the right to obtain our confirmation of whether we maintain personal information relating to you in the United States. Upon request, we will provide you with access to the personal information that we hold about you. You may also may correct, amend, or delete the personal information we hold about you.

Upon request, Welcome Holdings will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your personal information.

We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
