Privacy Policy

If personal data is processed, data subjects within the meaning of the GDPR have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

Right to information

You may request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning the individual is being processed. If such processing exists, information may be requested from the controller about the following:

• the purposes for which the personal data is processed;
• the categories of personal data which are processed;
• the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been or will be disclosed;
• the planned duration of the storage of the personal data concerning you or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage duration;
• the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
• the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
• any available information on the origin of the data, if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
• the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information on whether personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the data controller, insofar as the personal data processed concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must make the correction without undue delay.

Right to restriction of processing

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:

• if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period that enables the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
• the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;
• the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
• if you have objected to the processing pursuant to article 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the controller's legitimate grounds override your grounds.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, then – apart from its storage – this data may only be processed with your consent or for the purposes of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State. If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to erasure

a) Obligation to erase

You may demand the controller erase the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay, if one of the following reasons applies:

• the personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
• you withdraw your consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
• you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
• the personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
• the erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
• the personal data concerning you has been collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR.

b) Information to third parties

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, it shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, having regard to the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform data controllers that process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested that they erase all links to or copies or replications of such personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary

• to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
• for compliance with a legal obligation that requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
• for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) GDPR;
• for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in Section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing, or
• to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed about these recipients by the data controller.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

• the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and
• the processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to ensure that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. This must not affect the freedoms and rights of other persons.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right to withdraw the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal.

Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider the processing of personal data concerning to infringe the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged informs the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
