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

You have the right to request the rectification and/or completion of personal data concerning you that is inaccurate or incomplete from the data controller. The data controller is obliged to carry out the rectification without undue delay.

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

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, except for storage, such data may 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 European Union or a Member State. If the restriction of processing has been implemented according to the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the restriction is lifted.

A) Obligation to erase

You have the right to request the data controller to erase personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the data controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay if one of the following grounds applies:

B) Information to third parties

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

C) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not apply if processing is necessary for the following purposes:

If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to communicate any rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing to all recipients 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 these recipients by the controller.

You have the right to request the erasure of personal data concerning you from the controller, and the controller is obliged to erase such data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

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 does not apply to the 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.

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

If personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the 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 the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for such purposes.

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

You have the right to revoke your consent for data processing at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent prior to its withdrawal.

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. However, this does not apply under the following conditions:

However, these decisions cannot be based on special categories of personal data as defined in Article 9 (1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9 (2) (a) or (g) of the GDPR applies, and appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests have been taken.

Regarding the cases mentioned above (points 1 and 3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the data controller, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision.

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 the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.

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

We generally process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary for providing a functioning website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users usually takes place only with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of data is permitted by legal regulations.

If we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Article 6 (1) (d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to exist. Storage may also take place if provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. Data will be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
