You can request confirmation at any time using the contact details above.

  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been disclosed or are still being disclosed, in particular to recipients in third countries or international organisations;

We can provide you with a copy of the personal data that is subject to processing. For any additional copies you request of your person, we may charge a reasonable fee based on the administrative costs. If the application is submitted electronically, the information must be provided in a standard electronic format, unless otherwise stated. The right to receive a copy in accordance with Paragraph 3 shall not affect the rights and freedoms of others. (4) Right to rectification You have the right to demand immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement. (5) Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) You have the right to request from the persons responsible that your personal data is erased immediately and we are obliged to erase personal data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:
  1. Personal data are no longer required for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  2. The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR and lacks any other legal basis for processing.
  3. In accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR, the data subject objects to processing and there are no legitimate grounds for processing, or the data subject objects to processing in accordance with Article 21 (2) GDPR.
  4. The personal data were processed unlawfully.
  5. Erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfil legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the responsible person is subject.
  6. Personal data were collected in relation to information services offered in accordance with Article 8 (1) GDPR.
If the responsible person has made the personal data publicly available and is required to erase them in accordance with Paragraph 1, the responsible person shall initiate the appropriate measures taking into account the available technologies and implementation costs. This also includes technical measures to inform data personnel responsible for processing personal data that a data subject has requested that they erase all links to such personal data or copies or replications of such personal data. Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) does not exist if processing is required:
  • to exercise the right freedom of expression and information;
  • to fulfil a legal obligation, which requires processing in accordance with Union or Member State law to which the responsible person is subject, or performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority delegated to the responsible person;
  • for reasons of public interests in the field of public health in accordance with Article 9 (2) (h) and (i) and Article 9 (3) GDPR;
  • for archival purposes in the public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 (1) GDPR, where the law referred to in Paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
  • to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
(6) Right to restriction of processing You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, if any of the following conditions apply:
  1. the accuracy of the personal data is disputed by the data subject for a period allowing the responsible person to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  2. the processing is unlawful and the data subject refuses erasure of the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of personal data;
  3. the responsible person no longer requires the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims; or
  4. the data subject has lodged an objection to processing in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR, as long as it is not certain whether the legitimate reasons of the responsible person prevail over the data subject.
If the processing has been restricted in accordance with the above-mentioned conditions, these personal data will only be processed – apart from their storage – with the consent of the data subject or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State. To exercise the right to restriction of processing, the data subject may contact us using the contact details provided above. (7) Right to data portability You have the right to receive the personal data you provide to us in a structured, current and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transfer that information to another responsible person without hindrance by the responsible person to whom the personal data were provided, if:
  1. processing is based on consent in accordance with Article 9 (2) (a) or a contract in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR; and
  1. processing is performed using automated procedures.
When exercising the right to data portability in accordance with Paragraph 1, you have the right to obtain that the personal data are transmitted directly from one responsible person to another, as far as technically feasible. Exercising the right to data portability is without prejudice to the right of erasure (the right to be forgotten). This right does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority delegated to the responsible person. (8) Right to object You have the right, for reasons of your own particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you in accordance with Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The responsible person no longer processes the personal data unless he/she can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is for the purpose of enforcing, pursuing or defending legal claims. If personal data are processed in order to operate direct mail, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct mail. If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes. Regarding the use of information society services, regardless of Directive 2002/58 / EC, you can exercise your right to object through automated procedures that use technical specifications. You have the right, for reasons of your own particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes under Article 89 (1), unless processing is necessary to fulfil a public interest task. The right of objection can be exercised at any time by contacting the respective person responsible. (9) Automated decisions on a case-by-case basis, including profiling You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - that will have legal effect or significantly affects you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision:
  1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the responsible person,
  1. is permitted by the Union or Member State legislation to which the responsible person is subject, and where such legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or
  1. with the express consent of the data subject.
The responsible person shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the responsible person, to express his/her own position and to challenge the decision. This right can be exercised by the data subject at any time by contacting the respective responsible person. (10) Right to complain to a supervisory authority Furthermore, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their residence, place of work or place of alleged infringement, if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her infringes this Regulation. (11) Right to effective judicial remedy Without prejudice to an available administrative or extrajudicial remedy, including the right to complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Article 77 GDPR the right to an effective judicial remedy if the data subject considers the rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of processing of personal data relating to him/her that does not comply with this regulation.
