Under the GDPR, the user is, in particular, entitled to the following rights as the data subject:
1. Right to information (Article 15 GDPR)
You have the right to request information on whether or not we process personal data concerning you. If our company processes personal data concerning you, you are entitled to information on
the purposes for which the data is processed;
the categories of personal data (type of data) processed;
the recipients, or categories of recipients, to whom your data has been disclosed or is yet to be disclosed; this particularly applies, if data has been disclosed, or is to be disclosed, to recipients in third countries outside of the application of the GDPR;
the planned storage period, insofar as possible; if it is not possible to specify the storage period, the criteria for defining the storage period (e.g. statutory retention periods or the like) will in any case be communicated;
your right to correction and deletion of the data concerning you, including the right to have processing restricted and/or the option of opting out (see also the following subsections in this respect);
the existence of a right to complain to a supervisory authority;
the origin of the data in the case of personal data not collected directly from you.
Furthermore, you are entitled to information on whether your personal data is the subject-matter of an automated decision as defined by Article 22 GDPR, and, if so, what decision-making criteria are taken as a basis for such automated decision (logic), and what effects and implications this automated decision could have for you.
If personal data is transmitted to a third country outside of the scope of application of the GDPR, you are entitled to information on whether and, if so, under what guarantees an adequate level of protection, within the meaning of Articles 45 and 46 GDPR, has been safeguarded at the data recipient in the third country.
You have the right to demand a copy of your personal data. In principle, data copies will be made available by us in electronic form, unless you have specified otherwise. The first copy will be free of charge; an appropriate fee may be requested for further copies. The data requested will be provided only insofar as no rights or freedoms of other persons could be impaired as a result of the sending of a copy of this data.
2. Right to correction (Article 16 GDPR)
You have the right to request that we correct your data insofar as your data is incorrect, inapplicable and/or incomplete; this right to correction includes the right to make your data complete by means of supplementary statements or notifications. Correction and/or supplementation will take place promptly, i.e. without culpable delay.
3. Right to deletion (Article 17 GDPR)
You have the right to demand that we delete your personal data insofar as
your personal data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected and processed;
the data is being processed on the basis of consent given by you, and you have revoked your consent, unless there is some other legal basis for processing the data;
you have opted out of data processing in accordance with Article 21 GDPR, and no overriding legitimate reasons for continued processing exist;
you have opted out of data processing for the purpose of direct advertising in accordance with Article 21 (2) GDPR;
your personal data has been processed unlawfully;
the data concerned is a child's data collected in connection with information society services in accordance with Article 8 (1) GDPR.
No right to delete personal data exists insofar as
the right to freely express an opinion, or the right to information, conflicts with the request for deletion;
the processing of personal data is (i) necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (e.g. statutory retention duties), (ii) for the performance of public tasks, or the protection of public interests, under European Union law and/or the law of its Member States (this includes interests in the field of public health) or (iii) for archiving and/or research purposes;
the personal data is necessary for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
Deletion will take place promptly, i.e. without culpable delay. If we have made personal data public (e.g. on the Internet), we shall, insofar as this is technically possible and can be reasonably expected, ensure that third-party data processors are also informed of the deletion request, including the deletion of links, copies and/or replications.
4. Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)
You have the right to have the processing of your personal data restricted in the following cases:
If you have disputed the accuracy of your personal data, you may request of us that, whilst the accuracy is being checked, your data not be used for other purposes and be restricted in this respect.
If your data is unlawfully processed, you may request that, instead of your data being deleted in accordance with Article 17 (1), letter d GDPR, use of your data be restricted in accordance with Article 18 GDPR.
If you need your personal data for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims, but your personal data is otherwise no longer needed, you may request that we limit processing to the aforementioned legal defence purposes.
If you have opted out of data processing in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR, and it has not yet been established whether our interests in processing outweigh your interests, you may request that, whilst this is being checked, your data not be used for other purposes and be restricted in this respect.
Personal data whose processing has been restricted at your request will, except for storage, be processed only (i) with your consent, (ii) for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims, (iii) for protecting the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or (iv) for reasons of important public interest. If a processing restriction is lifted, you will be informed thereof.
5. Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)
Subject to the following provisions, you have the right to request that the data concerning you be surrendered in a commonly used electronic, machine-readable data format. The right to data transfer includes the right to transmit the data to another data controller. On request, we shall therefore - insofar as technically possible - transmit data directly to a data controller designated, or yet to be designated, by you. The right to data transfer applies only to data provided by you and requires that the processing take place on the basis of consent or for the implementation of a contract and be carried out with the aid of automated procedures. The right to data transfer under Article 20 GDPR does not affect the right to data deletion under Article 17 GDPR. The data will be transferred only insofar as no rights or freedoms of other persons could be impaired as a result of the data transfer.
6. Right to opt out (Article 21 GDPR)
If personal data is processed for the performance of tasks that are in the public interest (Article 6 (1), letter e GDPR) or for the protection of legitimate interests (Article 6 (1), letter f GDPR), you may at any time, with effect for the future, opt out of the processing of personal data concerning you. If you exercise your right to opt out, we shall refrain from all further processing of your data for the aforementioned purposes, unless
the reasons for processing are compelling and worthy of protection and outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or
processing is necessary for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
You may at any time, with effect for the future, opt out of having your data used for the purpose of direct advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it relates to direct advertising. If you exercise your right to opt out, we shall refrain from all further processing of your data for the purpose of direct advertising.
7. Legal protection options / Right to complain to the supervisory authority
If you have any complaints, you may at any time turn to the relevant supervisory authority of the European Union or its Member States. For our company, the supervisory authority specified in Section II is the relevant supervisory authority.
