    5. Right to erasure ('right to be forgotten')

      6. You shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay, if one of the following reasons applies:

      1. The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

      2. the data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

      3. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) DSGVO and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) DSGVO.

      4. The personal data have been processed unlawfully.

      5. The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

      6. The personal data have been collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

      If the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to paragraph 1, it shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that a data subject has requested that they erase all links to or copies or replications of that personal data, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation.
      The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") does not exist to the extent that the processing is necessary:

      • for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;

      • for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

      • for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) of the GDPR;

    6. Right to restriction of processing

      7. You shall have the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing if one of the following conditions is met:

      1. the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data,

      2. the processing is unlawful and the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data;

      3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or

      4. the data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, as long as it is not yet established whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

      If processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, such personal data - apart from being stored - shall only be processed with the consent of the data subject 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 of the Union or a Member State.
      In order to exercise the right to restrict the processing, the data subject may at any time contact us using the contact details provided in the legal notice.

    7. Right to data portability

      8. You shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, provided that:

      2. the processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures.

      When exercising the right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, you have the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, where technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data portability does not affect the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"). This right does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

    8. Right to object

      9. You shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point e or f of Article 6, including profiling based on those provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
      If personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
      In connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
      You have the right to object on grounds relating to your particular situation to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1), unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
      You can exercise the right to object at any time by contacting the respective controller.

    9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

      10. You shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her. This shall not apply if the decision:

      1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller,

      2. is permissible under Union or Member State law to which the data controller is subject, and that law contains suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or

      3. with the explicit consent of the data subject.

      The controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, which include, at least, the right to obtain the intervention of a data subject on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.
      The data subject may exercise this right at any time by contacting the relevant controller.

    10. Right to complain to a supervisory authority

      11. You also have the right, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her infringes this Regulation.

    11. Right to an effective judicial remedy.

      12. They shall have the right to an effective judicial remedy, without prejudice to any available administrative or non-judicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, if they consider that their rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of their personal data not in compliance with this Regulation.
