You also have the right to request information about 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 in connection with the transfer, pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR.
(2.2) Right to rectification
You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the data controller, insofar as the personal data processed concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The data controller shall make the correction without undue delay.
(2.3) Right to deletion
(2.3.1) You may request the controller to delete the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to delete such data without undue delay, if one of the following reasons applies:
a. The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
b. You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1) (a) or Article 9(2) (a) of the GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
c. 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.
d. The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
e. 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.
f. The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
(2.3.2) If the data controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to delete it pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR, he shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, having regard to the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform data controllers who process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested that they should delete all links to or copies and replications of such personal data.
(2.3.3) The right to deletion does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary:
a. to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
b. 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;
c. 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;

e. to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
(2.4) Right to restriction of processing
Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:
a. 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;
b. the processing is unlawful and you reject the deletion of the personal data and instead request restriction of the use of such personal data;
c. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
d. if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh your grounds.
Where the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may be processed, with the exception of their storage, only 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 a Member State. If the restriction of processing has been effected in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
(2.5) Right to information
If you have asserted the right to rectification, deletion and restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this authorization or deletion of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients by the data controller.
(2.6) Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, conventional and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was made available, provided that
a. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1) (a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2) (a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1) (b) of the GDPR and
b. the processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this. 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 the controller.
(2.7) Right of objection
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1) (e) or (f) of the GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services - notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EG - to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures in which technical specifications are used.
(2.8) Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of this consent until revocation.
(2.9) Automated decision-making in individual cases 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 –
a. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
b. is permitted by legislation of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests; or
c. with your express consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2) (a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases referred to in a. and c. above, the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms of, and the legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
(3) Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall 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 relating to you infringes the GDPR.
§ 3 LEGAL BASIS OF THE PROCESSING
(1) Insofar as we request the consent of the data subject for processing operations on personal data, Article 6(1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
(2) When processing personal data that is 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 that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
(3) Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1) (c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
(4) In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Article 6(1) (d) of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.
(5) If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6(1) (f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. The legitimate interest of our company lies in the performance of our business activities.
(6) Insofar as instructions are given below on the collection of individual personal data, reference is made separately in each case to the corresponding legal basis.
