(1) Withdrawal of consent
If the processing of the personal data is based on consent that has been granted, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. The withdrawal of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing which was carried out based on the consent before this consent was withdrawn.
You can contact us at any time to exercise your right of withdrawal.
(2) Right to confirmation
You have the right to request confirmation from the controller as to whether we are processing personal data concerning you. You can request the confirmation using the above contact details at any time.
(3) Right to information
If personal data is processed, you can request information on this personal data and the following information at any time:
a) the purposes of the processing;
b) the categories of personal data concerned;
c) the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, particularly recipients in third countries or international organizations;
d) where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;
e) the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing of personal data concerning you, or to object to such processing;
f) the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
g) where the personal data is not collected from the data subject, any available information as to its source;
h) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR, and – at least in those cases – meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
If personal data is transferred to a third country or international organization, you have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer. We provide a copy of the personal data which is subject to the processing. We can request an appropriate fee based on the administrative costs for all further copies for which you apply. If you apply for this electronically, the information is to be provided in a commonly used electronic format unless otherwise specified. The right to receive a copy pursuant to subsection (3) must not encroach upon the rights or freedoms of other persons.
(4) Right to rectification
You have the right to request from us the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
(5) Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
You have the right to request from the controller that the personal data concerning you be erased immediately, and we are obligated to erase personal data immediately if one of the following grounds applies:
a) The personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
b) The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based according to Article 6(1) a) or Article 9(2) a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
c) The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
d) The personal data has been processed unlawfully.
e) The personal data has to be erased to comply with a legal obligation according to the law of the European Union or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
f) The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.
If the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to subsection (1), the controller, taking account of the available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take appropriate steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers responsible for data processing who or which are processing the personal data that a data subject has requested that they erase any links to, or copies or replications of that personal data.
The right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) does not exist if the processing is necessary as follows:
- for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
- for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing according to the law of the European Union or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority which has been vested in the controller;
- for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Article 9(2) h) and i), and Article 9(3) GDPR;
- for archiving purposes in the public interest, or for scientific, historical research, or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) in so far as the right referred to in subsection (1) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
- for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
(6) Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request that the controller restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met:
a) the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, and is contested for a period which enables the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
b) the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of its use instead;
c) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims;
d) the data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If processing has been restricted in accordance with the abovementioned conditions, this personal data shall – with the exception of storage – only be processed with the consent of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
To assert the right to restriction of the processing, the data subject can contact us at any time using the contact details mentioned above.
(7) Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you which you have made available to us, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transfer that data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been made available provided that:
a) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1) a), or Article 9(2) a), or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1) b) GDPR; and
b) the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising the right to data portability pursuant to subsection (1), you have the right to have the personal data transferred directly from one controller to another where technically feasible. The exercising of the right to data portability does not affect the right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”). This right does not apply to processing that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority which has been vested in the controller.
(8) Right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds arising from your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1) e) or f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on those provisions. The controller will no longer process the personal data unless they demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means which use technical specifications.
Where personal data is processed for scientific, historical research, or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1), you have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you on grounds relating to your particular situation, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
You may exercise your right to object at any time by contacting the respective controller.
(9) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which develops legal effects concerning you or affects you significantly in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision:
a) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller;
b) is admissible based on the statutory provisions of the Union or Member State to which the controller is subject and which also lay down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests; or
c) is made with the express consent of the data subject.
The controller will implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, which at least include the right to have the controller effect human intervention, to express their own point of view, and to contest the decision.
The data subject may exercise their right to object at any time by contacting the respective controller.
(10) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of your place of residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement if you are of the opinion that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes this Regulation.
(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy
Without prejudice to an available administrative or non-judicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to an effective judicial remedy if you are of the opinion that the rights to which you are entitled based on this Regulation have been infringed as a result of processing of your personal data which was not in line with this Regulation.
