‍ 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 the person responsible:

1. Right to information

You can request confirmation from the person responsible as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us.

If there is such processing, you can request the following information from the person responsible:

(1) the purposes for which the personal data are processed;

(2) the categories of personal data that are processed;

(3) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been or is still being disclosed;

(6) the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

(7) all available information about the origin of the data if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;

(8) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, in accordance with Article 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and — at least in these cases — meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

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 may request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

This right of information may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary to fulfill the research or statistical purposes.

2. Right to rectification

You have the right to correct and/or complete the data controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The person responsible must immediately carry out the correction. Your right to correction may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make the achievement of the research or statistical purposes impossible or seriously impair them and the restriction is necessary to fulfill the research or statistical purposes.

3. Right to restrict processing

You can request that the processing of personal data concerning you be restricted under the following conditions:

(1) if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time that enables the person responsible to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

(2) the processing is unlawful and you refuse to delete the personal data and instead request that the use of the personal data be restricted;

(3) the person responsible no longer needs the personal data for processing purposes, but you need them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or

(4) if you have filed an objection to processing in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the person responsible outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data — apart from storage — may only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the person responsible before the restriction is lifted.

Your right to restrict processing may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary to fulfill the research or statistical purposes.

4. Right to deletion

a) Obligation to delete

You can request that the person responsible delete the personal data concerning you immediately, and the person responsible is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

(1) The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

(2) You withdraw your consent on which processing was based in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for processing.

(3) You object to processing in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for processing, or you object to processing in accordance with Article 21 (2) GDPR.

(4) The personal data concerning you was processed unlawfully.

(5) The deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the person responsible is subject.

(6) The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8 (1) GDPR.

If the person responsible has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to delete it in accordance with Article 17 (1) GDPR, he shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, to inform data controllers who process the personal data that you, as a data subject, have deleted all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data from them have requested personal data.

c) Exemptions

The right to deletion does not exist insofar as processing is necessary

(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

(2) to fulfill a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or to perform a task which is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;

(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to make impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of this processing, or

(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Right to be informed

If you have asserted the right to correct, delete or restrict processing against the person responsible, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right vis-à-vis the person responsible to be informed about these recipients.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the person responsible, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another person responsible without hindrance from the person responsible to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

(1) the processing is based on consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR and

(2) processing is carried out using automated procedures. In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one person responsible to another person responsible, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected as a result.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority that has been transferred to the person responsible.

7. Right of objection

For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller will no longer process your personal data unless he can prove compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, 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 associated with 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.

Notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you have the option to exercise your right of objection in connection with the use of information society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

You also have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 (1) GDPR.

Your right of objection may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary to fulfill the research or statistical purposes.

8. Right to withdraw the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the withdrawal.

9. Automated decision in individual cases, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing — including profiling — which has legal effect on you or significantly affects you in a similar way. This does not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the person responsible,

(2) is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or

(3) is made with your express consent. However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data in accordance with Article 9 (1) (1) GDPR, unless Article 9 (2) (a) or (g) GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the action of a person from the controller, to express his own position and to challenge the decision.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

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 place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is contrary to the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint was lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including Possibility of a judicial remedy in accordance with Art. 78 GDPR.

In principle, we only process our users' personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data is regularly carried out only with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of data is permitted by law.

‍ 2. Legal basis for processing personal data

Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

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

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

‍ 3. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the above standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
