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

Right to rectification:

You have the right to correction and/or completion from the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller is obligated to make the correction without undue delay.

Right to restriction of processing:

Under the following conditions, you can request the restriction of processing of your personal data:

(1) If you contest the accuracy of your personal data for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

(2) The processing is unlawful, and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;

(3) The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or

(4) If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

If processing of your personal data has been restricted, these data – with the exception of storage – may only be processed with your consent 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 of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted under the conditions mentioned above, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to erasure:

a) Erasure obligation:

You can request the erasure of your personal data without undue delay from the controller, and the controller is obligated to erase this data without undue delay if one of the following grounds applies:

(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 according to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obligated to erase it, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, the controller shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

c) Exceptions:

The right to erasure does not exist to the extent that processing is necessary:

(1) for exercising 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(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;

(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or

(5) for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Right to information:

If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obligated to communicate any rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

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

Right to data portability:

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, where:

(1) 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

(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This right shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of 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, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless they demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Where personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for such 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.

Right to revoke the data protection consent:

You have the right to revoke your data protection consent at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on the consent before its withdrawal.

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 produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the data controller,

(2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, or

(3) is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

With regard to the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable 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 express your point of view, and to contest the decision.

Right to lodge a complaint with 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 the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates 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 of the GDPR.
