If data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, 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 these provisions. The relevant legal basis for the processing is outlined in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data 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 purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in an automated manner, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, or to have it transmitted to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Right to Access, Rectification, and Erasure
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free access to your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this, as well as for other questions related to personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be made. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, 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 European Union or a Member State.
