  • The purposes for which the personal data are processed;
  • the categories of personal data which are processed;
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed, in particular in the case of recipients in third countries or international organizations; in the latter cases, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR in connection with the transfer;
  • the planned duration of the storage of the personal data concerning you or, if concrete information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;

  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the 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.

Right to rectification, Art. 16 GDPR:

You have a right to rectification and/or completion towards the responsible party, if the processed personal data concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The responsible party shall carry out the rectification without undue delay.

Right to erasure, Art. 17 GDPR:

  1. a) Obligation to erase

You may request the controller to 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 are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a or Art. 9 (2) a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR (see Section VI) and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
  • The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance 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 Art. 8(1) GDPR
  1. 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) of the GDPR, it shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, having regard to the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform data controllers which 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.

  1. c) Exceptions

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

  • For the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;
  • for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under 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;
  • for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 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
  • for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing, Art. 18 GDPR:

You may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:

  • if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling 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 them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
  • if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR (cf. Section VI) and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh your grounds.

If the processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

If you have obtained a restriction of processing under the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to information, Art. 19 GDPR:

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have 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 against the controller to be informed about these recipients.

Right to data portability, Art. 20 GDPR:

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 Art. 6 (1) a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 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 have the personal data concerning you transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

Your right to deletion remains unaffected.

The right to data portability does not apply to 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, Art. 21 GDPR.

You have a right to object on a case-by-case basis and a right to object to the processing of data for advertising purposes. For more information, please refer to Section VI of this data protection declaration.

Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law:

You may revoke a granted consent to the processing of your personal data at any time vis-à-vis the controller. Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. The lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation is not affected.

Automated decision in individual cases including profiling, Art. 22 GDPR:

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

  • is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
  • is permitted by legal provisions of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests; or
  • is done with your explicit consent.

In cases (1) and (3), the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

Furthermore, decisions based solely on automated processing may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, Art. 77 GDPR:

You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data. You can address your complaint to the supervisory authority in the Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted will inform you, as the complainant, about the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.

5. Right of objection according to Art. 21 GDPR

Individual right of objection

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) (e) GDPR (data processing in the public interest) and Article 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR (data processing for the purposes of safeguarding the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party); this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right to object to the processing of data for advertising purposes.

In individual cases, we process your personal data in order to conduct direct advertising. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.

The objection in the above-mentioned cases can be made form-free and should be directed by telephone or, if possible, by email with the subject “Objection” to:
