You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you will be transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

4.2 Right to rectification

You have the right to have your personal data corrected and/or completed without delay if it is inaccurate or incomplete.

4.3 Right to limitation of processing

Under the following conditions, you may request the limitation of the processing of your personal data:

b) if the processing is unlawful and you refuse to erase the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;

c) if the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, or

d) if you object to the processing in accordance with Article 21 Para. 1 GDPR and it has not yet been established whether the justified reasons of the person responsible outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence 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 the processing restriction has been limited in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4.4 Right to deletion

You may request that the personal data relating to you be deleted immediately and the controller is obliged to delete such data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

a) The personal data relating to you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

b) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a or Article 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

c) You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21 Para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21 Para. 2 GDPR.

The right to cancellation does not exist in so far as the processing is necessary

a) for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;

b) for the fulfillment of a legal obligation which the processing requires under the law of the Union or the Member States 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;

c) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health in accordance with Article 9 Para. 2 lit. h and Para. 3 GDPR;

d) for archive purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 Para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the law referred to in Para. 1 presumably makes the realization of the objectives of such processing impossible or seriously impairs it, or

e) for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

4.5 Right to notification

If you have exercised the right to rectify, cancel or limit the processing of your personal data against the controller, the latter is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification, cancellation or limitation of the processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed of such recipients by the controller.

4.6 Right to data transferability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the responsible person in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transfer this data to another data controller without being hindered by the data controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that a) the processing is based on an agreement pursuant to Article 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Article 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR and b) the processing is carried out using automated procedures. In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data relating to you transferred directly by a person responsible to another person responsible as far as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this. The right to data transfer 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.

4.7 Right of objection

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data on the basis of Article 6 Para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The person responsible will no longer process the personal data relating to you unless he can prove compelling grounds for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. If the personal data concerning you are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with 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 connection with the use of information society services, you may exercise your right of objection by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

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

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the revocation.

4.9 Right to automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to any decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that has any legal effect on you or similarly significantly affects you. This shall not apply if the decision a) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the responsible person, b) is permissible under the laws of the Union or the Member States to which the responsible person is subject and such laws contain reasonable measures to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or c) is made with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9 Para. 1 GDPR, unless Article. 9 Para. 2 lit. a or g applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests. With regard to the cases referred to in a. and c., the person responsible shall take appropriate measures to protect 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 person responsible, to state his own position and to challenge the decision. There is no automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22 Para. 1 and 4 GDPR.

4.10 Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you reside, at your place of work or at the place where the alleged infringement is alleged, if you consider that the processing of your personal data is in breach of the GDPR.
