Privacy Policy

If personal data concerning you are processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights against the controller:

1. Right to Information

You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us.

If such processing exists, you can request the controller to provide you with the following information:

1. the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
2. the categories of personal data processed;
3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;
4. the envisaged duration of storage of the personal data concerning you or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;
5. the existence of the right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, the right to restriction of processing by the controller, or the right to object to such processing;
6. the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
7. all available information about the origin of the data, if the personal data was not collected from the data subject;
8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject. 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 about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right to Rectification

You have the right to obtain from the controller the rectification or completion of inaccurate or incomplete personal data concerning you. The controller shall make the rectification without undue delay.

3. Right to Restriction of Processing

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

1. if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
2. if the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
3. if the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
4. if you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override yours. Where processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, except for storage, such data shall only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense 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.

Where processing has been restricted under the abovementioned conditions, you shall be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to Erasure

a) Obligation to Erase

You may request the erasure of personal data concerning you from the controller without undue delay, and the controller shall erase such data without undue delay if one of the following grounds applies:

1. the personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
2. you withdraw your consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing;
3. you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR;
4. the personal data concerning you have been unlawfully processed;
5. the erasure of personal data concerning you is required to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject;
6. the personal data concerning you have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

b) Information to Third Parties

Where the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you have requested 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 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 Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) of the GDPR;
4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) of the 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 exercised your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller shall communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom the personal data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

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

6. Right to Data Portability

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

1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 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. This must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

The right to data portability shall not apply to processing 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 to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Where personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you 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.

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

8. Right to Withdraw Consent under Data Protection Law

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data 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 does not apply if the decision:

1. is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the data 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 and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
3. is based on your explicit consent. However, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, 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 habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

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