Your Rights

1. Overview

Besides the right to revoke the consent you have given us, you have the following further rights if the respective legal requirements are met:

• The right of access to your personal data held by us.
• The right to request rectification of incorrect data or completion of incomplete data
• The right to request deletion of your personal data stored with us
• The right to request restriction of processing of your data
• The right to request data portability
• The Right to object to the processing of your personal data

2. Right of access

You have the right to request access to any information we hold concerning you. Upon receipt of your request, we may ask you further questions to clarify your request and also ask you to verify you identity by providing identification documents. We will endeavour to process all requests for access to information within 1 month.

3. Right to rectification

You have the right to seek the immediate rectification by us of inaccuracies in your personal data. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data and add newly available supplementary information.

4. Right to erasure

You have the right to request from us that personal data concerning yourself is immediately deleted, if one of the following grounds applies:

• the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they have been collected or have been processed in any other way;

• you revoke your consent, which supported the processing originally, and there is no other legal basis for processing;

• You object to the processing where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

• the personal data has been unlawfully processed;

• the deletion of the personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation;

• the personal data has been collected in relation to services offered by information society services as referred to in Article 8 paragraph 1 GDPR

Insofar as we have made the personal data public and are obliged to delete it, we will take appropriate measures taking into account the available technology and the costs of implementation, in order to inform the third parties who are processing your data that you also request from them that they delete all links to the personal data and copies or replications of the personal data.

5. Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request from us a restriction of the processing, if one of the following requirements exist:

• the correctness of the personal data is disputed by you;

• the processing is illegal and you request a restriction of the use of the personal data rather than its deletion;

• the data controller no longer requires the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the person concerned requires them in order to enforce, exercise or defend legal claims or

• you have raised an objection to the processing, so long as it is not certain whether the legitimate grounds of the data controller outweigh those of the person concerned.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data that concern you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, common and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transfer these data to another data controller without hindrance by us, insofar as

• the processing is based on consent or on a contract and

• the processing takes place with the aid of automated procedures.

When exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to ensure that the personal data is transferred directly by us to another data controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.

7. Right to object

In particular instances, you may object to data processing for reasons arising from your particular situation.

The above general right of objection applies to all processing purposes described in these data protection regulations, which are processed on the basis of legitimate interests. Unlike the special right to object towards data processing for advertising purposes, we are only obliged by the GDPR to implement such a general objection, if you give us reasons of paramount importance for this, e.g. a possible risk to life or health.

Furthermore, you also have the right to contact the Data Protection Commission.
