In the following, you will find more detailed information about those rights:

You have the right to obtain confirmation from us as to whether or not we process your personal data. Where that is the case, you have the right to obtain access to the following information:

  • the purposes of processing;
  • the categories of personal data concerned;

Where we transfer your data to an international organisation or a third country, you also have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR relating to the transfer. 

  • Right to rectification

You have the right to rectification and/or completion of the data that we have stored about you, if those data are inaccurate or incomplete. We will rectify or complete the data without undue delay.

  • Right to restriction of processing

Under certain circumstances, you have a right to obtain the restriction of processing your data from us. You can exercise this right where one of the following applies:

  • you contest the accuracy of the personal data for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  • the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
  • we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
  • you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether our legitimate grounds override yours.
  • Right to erasure

You have the right to ask for the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay if we are obliged to do so. This is the case where one of the following applies:

  • Your personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • You withdraw consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1), or point (a) of Article 9(2) GDPR, and where there is no other legal basis for the processing.

Your right to erasure shall not apply to the extent that processing is necessary pursuant to the following grounds (exceptions):

  • for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  • for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which we are subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;
  • for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with points (h) and (i) of Article 9(2) GDPR as well as Article 9(3) GDPR;
  • for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) in so far as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
  • for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • Right to be informed

Where you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure or restriction, we have the obligation to communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom we have disclosed your personal data, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

  • Right to data portability

Under the conditions below, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you have the right to transmit those data to another controller:

  • the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR; and
  • the processing is carried out by automated means.

You have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and if hereby, the rights and freedoms of others are not adversely affected.

This right to data portability shall not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.

  • Right to object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. After an objection, we will no longer process the personal data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing your personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. 

Where you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for such purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC (Directive on privacy and electronic communications), you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

  • Right to withdraw consent

Under Article 7(3) GDPR you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy. You can lodge the complaint in particular in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
