6. Your Rights as a Data Subject
Insofar as your personal data is processed on the occasion of visiting our website, you are entitled to the following rights as a "data subject" within the meaning of the GDPR:
Information
You can demand information from us as to whether personal data of yours is processed by us. No right of information exists if the provision of the requested information would violate the duty of confidentiality according to § 83 StBerG or if the information must be kept secret for other reasons, in particular because of an overriding legitimate interest of a third party. Deviating from this, an obligation to provide information may exist if, especially taking into account threatening damages, your interests outweigh the interest in confidentiality. The right of information is also excluded if the data is only stored because it may not be deleted due to statutory or statutory retention periods or exclusively serves purposes of data backup or data protection control, provided that the provision of information would require a disproportionately high effort and processing for other purposes is excluded by appropriate technical and organizational measures. If the right of information is not excluded in your case and your personal data is processed by us, you can request information from us about the following information:
Purposes of processing,
categories of personal data processed by you,
recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data are disclosed, particularly in the case of recipients in third countries,
if possible, the planned duration for which your personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining the storage period,
the existence of a right to rectification or deletion or restriction of processing of the personal data concerning you or a right to object to this processing,
the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority for data protection,
if the personal data was not collected from you as the data subject, the available information about the origin of the data,
the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the scope and intended effects of automated decision-making,
in the case of transfer to recipients in third countries, unless a decision of the EU Commission on the adequacy of the level of protection according to Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR is available, information on what appropriate guarantees according to Art. 46 para. 2 GDPR are provided for the protection of personal data.
Rectification and Completion
If you find that we have incorrect personal data of yours, you can demand the immediate correction of this incorrect data from us. In the case of incomplete personal data concerning you, you can demand completion.
Deletion
You have a right to deletion ("right to be forgotten"), provided that the processing is not necessary for exercising the right to freedom of expression, the right to information, or for the fulfillment of a legal obligation or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, and one of the following reasons applies:
The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were processed.
The justification basis for the processing was exclusively your consent, which you have revoked.
You have objected to the processing of your personal data, which we have made public.
You have objected to the processing of personal data not made public by us and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing.
Your personal data was processed unlawfully.
The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject.
There is no entitlement to deletion if, in the case of lawful non-automated data processing, deletion is not possible or only possible with disproportionately high effort due to the special type of storage and your interest in deletion is low. In this case, restriction of processing takes the place of deletion.
Restriction of Processing
You can demand the restriction of processing from us if one of the following reasons applies:
You contest the accuracy of the personal data. In this case, restriction can be requested for the duration that enables us to verify the accuracy of the data.
The processing is unlawful and you demand the restriction of the use of your personal data instead of deletion.
Your personal data is no longer required by us for the purposes of processing, which you, however, require for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
You have objected in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR. The restriction of processing can be demanded as long as it is not yet clear whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons.
Restriction of processing means that the personal data is processed 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. Before we lift the restriction, we have the duty to inform you about it.
Data Portability
You have a right to data portability, provided that the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR) or on a contract to which you are a party and the processing is carried out using automated procedures. The right to data portability in this case includes the following rights, provided that the rights and freedoms of other persons are not affected thereby: You can demand from us to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, common, and machine-readable format. You have the right to transmit this data to another responsible party without hindrance on our part. As far as technically feasible, you can demand that we transmit your personal data directly to another responsible party.
Objection
If the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e) GDPR (performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority) or on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR (legitimate interest of the responsible party or a third party), you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e) or lit. f) GDPR. After exercising the right of objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
You can object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of direct marketing. This also applies to profiling associated with such direct marketing. After exercising this right of objection, we will no longer use the personal data concerned for direct marketing purposes.
You have the option to informally communicate the objection by phone, email, fax if applicable, or to our postal address listed at the beginning of this privacy policy.
Revocation of Consent
You have the right to revoke consent given at any time with effect for the future. The revocation of consent can be communicated informally by phone, email, fax if applicable, or to our postal address. The revocation does not affect the legality of the data processing carried out based on the consent until receipt of the revocation. After receipt of the revocation, the data processing, which was exclusively based on your consent, will be discontinued.
Complaint
If you believe that the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority competent for your place of residence or workplace or for the place of the alleged violation.
