§ 3 Rights of the Data Subject
If your personal data are processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights against us:
1. Right of access
You may request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you are being processed by us.
If such processing is taking place, you may request information from us about the following:
(1) the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
(2) the categories of personal data that are processed;
(3) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed or will be disclosed;
(4) the envisaged period for which the personal data concerning you will be stored, or, if specific information is not possible, the criteria used to determine that storage period;
(5) the existence of the right to request rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, the right to request restriction of processing by us, or the right to object to such processing;
(6) the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
(7) any available information as to the source of the data if the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
(8) the existence of automated decision-making including profiling referred to in Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR relating to the transfer.
2. Right to rectification
You have the right to obtain from us without undue delay the rectification and/or completion of personal data concerning you if they are inaccurate or incomplete.
3. Right to restriction of processing
You may request the restriction of processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:
(1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
(2) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
(3) we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
(4) you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR pending the verification whether our legitimate grounds override your grounds.
Where processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or 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 obtained under the above conditions, you will be informed by us before the restriction is lifted.
4. Right to erasure
a) Obligation to delete
You may request that the personal data concerning you be erased without undue delay and we are obliged to erase such data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6 (1) lit. a or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground 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 have been unlawfully processed.
(5) The personal data concerning you have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which we are subject.
(6) The personal data concerning you have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8 (1) GDPR.
b) Notification to third parties
Where we have made the personal data concerning you public and are obliged pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR to erase the personal data, we, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you as data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.
c) 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 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;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. h and i as well as Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 (1) GDPR in so far 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 defence of legal claims.
5. Right to notification
If you have exercised the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed about those recipients.
6. Right to data portability
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 have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us, where
(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, you shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from us to another controller, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of others shall not be adversely affected thereby.
The right to data portability shall 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 us.
7. Right to object
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
We shall no longer process the personal data concerning you 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 personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you shall no longer be processed for such purposes.
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
8. Right to withdraw consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on 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 — which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This shall not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and us,
(2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which we are subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
(3) is based on your explicit consent.
However, such decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) lit. a or g applies and suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests are in place.
In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), we shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests.
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 habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider 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 of the progress and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
