If your personal data are being processed, you are affected within the scope of the GDPR and have the following rights with regard to the responsible party/data controller:

1. Right to information

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you are being transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR relating to the transfer.


2. Right to rectification
You have a right to obtain rectification and/or amendment from the data controller if the personal data processed concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The data controller shall make the correction without undue delay.


3. Right to restriction of processing
If one of the following applies, you have the right to request a restriction of the processing of your personal data:
(1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you, for a period which enables the data controller to verify its accuracy;
(2) the processing is unlawful, and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
(3) the data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you do need them to establish, exercise or defend legal rights, or
(4) if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the data controller outweigh yours.

Where processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such personal data may – with the exception of storage – only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal rights 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.
If the processing restriction has been restricted according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the restriction is lifted.


4. Right to erasure (’right to be forgotten’)
a) Obligation to delete
If one of the following grounds applies, you have the right to request the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase the same without undue delay:
(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.

If the data controller has made the personal data public and is obliged to delete it pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, the controller, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, shall take appropriate steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers who are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure of any links to, or of copies or replications of, those personal data.


c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not apply insofar as the processing is necessary
(1) to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law 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 vested in the controller;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the right referred to under a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the attainment of the objectives of such processing; or
(5) to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Right of notification
If you have exercised your right to have the data controller rectify, erase or restrict the processing of personal data, they are obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification, erasure or restriction on processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
The controller is obliged to inform you about such recipients should you request it.


6. 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, commonly used and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit those data on to another controller without obstruction by the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, where
(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that your personal data is transmitted directly from one data controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of others may not be affected by this.
The right to portability shall not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.


7. Right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The data controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless they can prove compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence legal claims.

If your personal data are processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, to the extent that it is associated with such direct advertising.

Should you object to the processing for direct advertising purposes, the personal data concerning you 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 using technical specifications.


8. Right to revoke data consent
You have the right to revoke data consent at any time. The revocation of consent shall not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.


9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing – including profiling – which has legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly impacts you. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of a contract between you and the data controller;
(2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also stipulates suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests; or
(3) is with your explicit consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been put in place to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall take reasonable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to state their own point of view and to contest the decision.


10. Right to lodge a complaint 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 habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement – if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.

An exception applies in cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for material reasons and the processing of such data is permitted by law.


2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para 1 sentence 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
Art. 6 para 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR provides the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations which are necessary in order to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is required in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR provides the legal basis.
In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR provides the legal basis.
If processing is necessary in order to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR provides the legal basis for processing.


3. Data erasure and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if provision has been made for this by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject.
