3. Rights of data subjects

If your personal data is processed, you are considered a data subject within the meaning of GDPR and have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

• in accordance with Article 15 GDPR, the right to obtain information about the personal data relating to you that we are processing. In particular, you can request information about the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned, the categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, the planned retention period, the existence of the right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection to such processing, the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, the source of your data where this was not collected by us, as well as the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling and, where appropriate, meaningful information about the details of this;
• in accordance with Article 16 GDPR, the right to obtain the rectification of inaccurate personal data or the completion of incomplete data that we store concerning you without undue delay;
• in accordance with Article 17 GDPR, the right to obtain the erasure of personal data concerning you that is stored by us, provided that this processing is not necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest
or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
• in accordance with Article 18 GDPR, the right to obtain restriction of processing of your personal data, provided that you contest the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful but you oppose its erasure and we no longer require the data but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21 GDPR;
• in accordance with Article 20 GDPR, the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to transmit this data to another controller;
• in accordance with Article 7 (3) GDPR, the right to withdraw consent already provided at any time. This means that we cannot continue any data processing based on this consent in the future. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal;
• in accordance with Article 77 GDPR, the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. As a rule, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in the place of your habitual residence or place of work or the location of our registered office.


4. Right to object

In accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you based on Article 6 (1) Letter f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on this provision. When exercising this objection, you must explain to us your personal reasons why we should not process your personal data. We will review your objection and either cease or adjust the data processing or demonstrate to you compelling legitimate grounds on our side for continuing the processing.

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes based on Article 6 (1) Letter f GDPR – although this is not the case on our website – you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing without providing reasons in accordance with Article 21 (2) GDPR; the same applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
