2. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing sequences of personal data, point (a) of Art. 6(1) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides the legal basis for the processing of personal data. When processing personal data which is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, the contracting party of which is the data subject, point (b) of Art. 6(1) GDPR is the legal basis.

Personal data may then be stored for longer periods if provision for such storage has been provided by European or national legislatures in European Union regulations, laws or other regulatory requirements to which the controller is subject.

XIII. Rights of the Data Subject

If your personal data are processed, you are the data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-â-vis the controller:

1. Right of Access

You can request confirmation of whether personal data concerning your person is processed by us from the controller. If such processing takes place, you can request access to the following information from the controller:

1. the purposes for which the personal data are processed;

2. the categories of personal data that are processed;

3. the recipients and/or categories of recipients to whom your personal data are or have been disclosed;

4. the planned duration of storage for your personal data or, if definitive information cannot be provided, the criteria for the determination of the duration of storage;

5. the existence of a right to rectification or erasure regarding your personal data, a right to the restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;

6. the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

7. all available information concerning the origin of the data if the personal data are not obtained from the data subject;

8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Art. 22(1) and (4) GDPR and – at least in these cases – clear information on the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing as regards the data subject. You have the right to receive information on whether your personal data are transferred to a third country or an international organisation. In this context, you can require that we notify you of appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with any such transfer.

2. Right to Rectification

You have the right to require that the controller rectifies and/or completes your personal data insofar as the data that are processed are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must make such changes without undue delay.

3. Right to the Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions:

1. if you contest the accuracy of your personal data for a period sufficient to enable the controller to verify the accuracy of the respective personal data;

2. if the processing is unlawful and you oppose erasure of the personal data and request restriction of the use of the personal data instead;

3. if the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need the personal data to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or

4. if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR pending verification of whether the legitimate reasons of the controller override your reasons.

If the processing of the personal data in question has been restricted, this data – with the exception of its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of a significant public interest for the Union or a member state. If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above requirements, you will be notified by the controllers before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to Erasure

a) Duty to Erase

You have the right to require the controller to erase your personal data without undue delay, and the controller must then erase this data without undue delay insofar as one of the following reasons applies: 1. The personal data are no longer needed for the purposes for which they were originally collected or otherwise processed;

2. You have withdrawn your consent to processing pursuant to point (a) of Art. 6(1) or point (a) of Art. 9(2) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for such processing;

3. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for such processing or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR;

4. Your personal data were processed unlawfully;

5. Your personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation under European Union or member state law to which the controller is subject.

6. Your personal data were collected in connection with the scope of services offered by an information society pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR;

7. Information to third parties

If the controller has disclosed personal data concerning your person and is obliged to erase such data pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR, taking the technology and the cost of implementation into account, the controller must take reasonable steps, including technical measures, in order to inform the controllers who are processing the personal data that as the data subject, you have requested such controllers to erase all links to such personal data, or copies or replications of such personal data.

b) Derogations

The right to erasure does not apply insofar as the processing is necessary
1. to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

2. to comply with a legal obligation that requires processing under European Union or member state law to which the controller is subject, or for the completion of a task which is in the public interest, or to exercise official authority that has been vested in the controller;

3. on the grounds of public interest in the area of public health according to points (h) and (i) of Art. 9(2) GDPR and Art. 9(3) GDPR;

4. further processing for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes according to Art. 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to under section a) renders the fulfilment of the goals of such processing impossible or seriously impairs their fulfilment, or 5. in order to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Right to Erasure

If you have asserted your right to the rectification, erasure or the restriction of processing towards the controller, the controller is required to notify all recipients to whom personal data concerning your person has been disclosed of such a rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, unless such notification proves to be impossible or would entail a disproportionate amount of effort. You have the right to be notified of such recipients by the controller.

6. Right to Data Portability

You have right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have made available to a controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer such data to another controller without hindrance by the controller to which the personal data were provided, insofar as

1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR or point (a) of Art. 9(2) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Art. 6(1) GDPR, and

2. the processing is carried out using automated processes.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have personal data concerning your person be transferred directly from one controller to another insofar as this is feasible from a technical perspective. This may not be permitted to adversely affect the freedoms or rights of others. The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data which is required for the performance of a task which is in the public interest or in the exercising of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right to Object

On grounds relating to your particular situation, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data that takes place on the basis of point (e) or (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR at any time; this also applies to a case of profiling which may be based on these provisions.

The controller will then cease to process personal data concerning your person unless it is possible to demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for such processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or where the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If personal data concerning your person are processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object to the processing of your data for such marketing purposes at any time; this will apply accordingly to any profiling that relates to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, personal data concerning your person will no longer be processed for such purposes. In the context of the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – you may exercise your right to object by automated means in which technical specifications are used.

8. Right to Withdraw the Declaration of Consent under Data Protection Law

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of the processing which has been carried out on the basis of the consent before it was withdrawn.

9. Automated Individual Decision-making, Including Profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – that has a legal effect on your person, or is associated with effects of a similar nature. This does not apply if the decision

1. is necessary for the entry into or performance of a contract between you and the controller,

2. is permitted under European Union or member state legislation to which the controller is subject, and such legislation includes appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or

3. is based on your explicit consent.

These decisions, however, may not be based on special categories of personal data according to Art. 9(1) GDPR, unless point (a) or (g) of Art. 9(2) GDPR applies, and appropriate measures have been taken to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

As regards the cases referred to in points (1) and (3) above, the controller is required to implement appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, which at least entails the right to obtain intervention by an individual person on the part of the controller, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision.

10. Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

Regardless of any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to complaint to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state in which you are resident, the member state in which you work or in the place of the putative infringement if you are of the opinion that the processing of personal data concerning your person infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint is lodged will inform the person who lodged the complaint about the progress and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy, pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR. We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.
