You have the following rights in relation to personal data relating to you:

16.1 Right to withdraw consent (cf. Art. 7 GDPR)

If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you may revoke this consent at any time. Such a revocation affects the permissibility of the processing of your personal data for the future after you have expressed it to us. It can be made (remotely) verbally or in writing by post or e-mail to us.

16.2 Right of access (cf. Art. 15 GDPR)

In the event of a request for information, you must provide sufficient details of your identity and proof that the information is yours. The information concerns the following information:

• the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
• the categories of personal data which are processed;
• the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;
• the planned duration of the storage of the personal data relating to you or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage duration;
• the existence of a right to rectify or erase personal data concerning you, a right to have processing restricted by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
• the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
• any available information on the origin of the data if the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
• the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

16.3 Right of rectification or erasure (cf. Art. 16, 17 DSGVO)

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

In addition, you can request the deletion of the personal data concerning you if one of the following reasons applies to you:

• The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
• You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 a) or Art. 9 (2) a) DSGVO and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
• You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) DSGVO.
• The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
• The deletion of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
• The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 (1) DSGVO.

If we have made the personal data relating to you public and we are obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR, we shall take all reasonable steps to inform other data controllers that you have requested the erasure of all links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data.

The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary:

• to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
• for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law 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;
• for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) DSGVO;
• for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, where the right referred to in Section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing, or
• for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

16.4 Right to restriction of processing (cf. Art. 18 GDPR)

You may request that we restrict the processing of personal data relating to you under the following conditions:

• if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data relating to you for a period of time that allows us to verify the accuracy of your personal data;
• the processing is unlawful and you refuse to erase the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;
• we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
• if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO and it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds outweigh your grounds.

Where the processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, those data may be processed, with the exception of their storage, only 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 substantial 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 us before the restriction is lifted.

16.5 Right to information (cf. Art. 19 GDPR)

If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of data processing against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients of your personal data of the rectification, erasure or restriction of data processing. This only applies insofar as this notification does not prove impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to know which recipients have received your data.

16.6 Right to data portability (cf. Art. 20 DSGVO)

You have the right to receive your personal data from us in a commonly used, machine-readable format in order to have it transferred to another controller if necessary, provided that

• the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) DSGVO and
• the processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures.

When exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from us to another controller where this is technically feasible.

The right to data portability does 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.

16.7 Right to object to processing (cf. Art. 21 GDPR)

If we base the processing of your personal data on a legitimate interest (pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) DSGVO) or on our part, you may object to the processing. The same applies if we base the data processing on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. e) DSGVO.

When exercising such an objection, we will ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will review the merits of the case and either cease or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds for continuing the processing.

16.8 Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority (cf. Art. 77 GDPR)

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 the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
