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

2. Right to Rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay.

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:

2. If the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of its use;

4. If you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

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

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to Erasure

a) Obligation to Erase

You may request that the controller erase personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase this data without undue delay if one of the following reasons applies:

1. The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
2. You withdraw 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.
3. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
4. The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
5. The erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
6. The personal data concerning you has been collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR.

Information to Third Parties

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR, the controller shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers that are processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data.

b) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:

1. For exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
2. For compliance with a legal obligation that requires processing under Union law or the law of 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;
3. For reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;
4. For archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
5. For the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

5. Right to Notification

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients.

6. Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, where:

1. 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
2. The processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be adversely affected by this.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right to Object

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you that is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on those provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In connection with the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you have the option to exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

8. Right to Withdraw the Data Protection Declaration of Consent

You have the right to withdraw your data protection declaration of consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.

9. Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision:

1. Is necessary for entering into or performance of a contract between you and the controller;
2. Is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests; or
3. Is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR, unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests have been put in place.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant about the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time in compliance with applicable data protection regulations.
