In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract submitted to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request that the data be transmitted directly to another controller, then this request will only be complied with where technically feasible.

Access, rectification and erasure

You have a right of access to your stored personal data, its source and recipient, the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right of rectification and erasure of such data at any time and free of charge within the framework of applicable legal provisions. You may contact us at any time in this regard or if you have further questions about personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time in this regard. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of any of your personal data that we have stored, we usually need time to verify this. You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted for the duration of the verification.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or establishment of legal claims, then you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of the erasure of your personal data.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, then a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data until it is determined whose interests prevail.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data shall – with the exception of storage – 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 important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
