My rights as a data subject


If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis us as the controller: You can request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us.

If such processing takes place, you can request the following information from us: The purposes and categories of personal data being processed, including the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, and the planned duration of storage of your data. If we use profiling technologies, we must provide you with meaningful information about the logic involved, the scope and the intended effects of such processing for you. Furthermore, we must inform you of your right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority. You also have the right to request information about whether the data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization.

You have the right to have your data corrected and/or completed if it is incorrect or incomplete. If applicable, we will make the correction immediately.

You may request that the processing of your data be restricted under the following conditions:

  1. if you dispute the accuracy of the data concerning you for a period that allows us to verify the accuracy of your data;
  2. the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your data and request the restriction of its use instead;
  3. we no longer need your data for processing purposes, but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, or
  4. if you have objected to the processing and it is not yet clear whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of your data has been restricted, this data—apart from its storage—may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, we will inform you before the restriction is lifted.

We are obliged to delete your data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

  1. Your data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected by us;
  2. You revoke your consent and there is no other legal basis for processing.
  3. You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) and there are no overriding legitimate grounds on our part for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2).
  4. Your data has been processed unlawfully.

The right to erasure does not apply if processing is necessary

  1. to fulfill a legal obligation that requires processing (e.g., vis-à-vis authorities and agencies), or to perform a task in the public interest that has been assigned to us;
  2. to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f); this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

In this case, we will no longer process your data unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

If your data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of data concerning you for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. Revoking your consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to revocation.

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority pursuant to Section 24 et seq. of the DSG 2018 if you believe that the processing of your data violates the GDPR.
