Your rights as a data subject

Right of information (Article 15 GDPR)

You can request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If such processing is taking place, you can request information about the following:

  1. the purposes for which the personal data is being processed;
  2. the categories of personal data being processed;
  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed;
  4. the planned duration of the storage of the personal data or, if specific information is not possible, criteria for determining the storage duration;
  5. the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing;
  6. the existence of a right of complaint to 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 pursuant to 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 on the data subject;
  9. if personal data is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation, you have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR relating to the transfer.

Right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR)

You have a right to rectification and/or completion if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification immediately.

Right to erasure (Article 17 GDPR)

You may request that the personal data concerning you be erased immediately if one of the following grounds applies:

  1. The personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
  2. You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  3. You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
  4. The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
  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 has been collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR.

If the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged to erase it, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of any links to, or copy or replication of, that personal data.

The right to erasure does not exist insofar as processing is necessary:

  1. for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  2. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject;
  3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health;
  4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes insofar as the right to erasure is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing;
  5. for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)

You may request the restriction of processing under the following conditions:

  1. if you contest the accuracy of the personal data, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  2. the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of its use instead;
  3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
  4. if you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override yours.

Where processing has been restricted, such personal 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 Union or of a Member State.

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

Right to information (Article 19 GDPR)

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed about these recipients.

Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that:

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR; and
  2. the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Right to object (Article 21 GDPR)

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, 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.

Where 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 such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that 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 such purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

Withdrawal of consent (Article 7(3) GDPR)

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.

Automated decision-making including profiling (Article 22 GDPR)

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

This does not apply if the decision:

  1. is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller;
  2. is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests;
  3. is based on your explicit consent.

These decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

In the cases referred to in points (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your own point of view and to contest the decision.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Article 77 GDPR)

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, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
