Your Rights

Right to Information

You can request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed.

If such processing is taking place, you can request information from us about the following:

  1. the purposes for which the personal data is processed;
  2. the categories of personal data that are processed;
  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been or will be disclosed;
  4. the planned duration of storage of the personal data concerning you, or, if specific information on this is not possible;
  5. criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of the 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 to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
  7. all available information on the source of the data if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
  8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, according to Art. 22 (1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information about whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards according to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification and/or completion of personal data concerning you if the personal data processed is inaccurate or incomplete.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to have inaccurate personal data concerning you corrected without undue delay and/or to have incomplete personal data completed:

  1. if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  2. if the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
  3. if we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or
  4. if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Abs. 1 GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of our company override yours.

If you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds override your reasons. Once the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted under these conditions, aside from their storage, these data can only be processed with your consent 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 of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been limited under the above conditions, you will be informed by us before the restriction is lifted.

Right to Erasure

You can demand that the personal data concerning you be deleted immediately and we are obligated to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

  1. The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  2. You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  3. You object to the processing according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing or you object to the processing according to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
  4. The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.
  5. The deletion of the personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  6. The personal data concerning you were collected in relation to the offer of information society services according to Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.

If we have made the personal data concerning you public and are obligated to delete them according to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, considering the available technology and the cost of implementation, we shall take reasonable steps including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the deletion of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data.

The right to deletion does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by the 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 according to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i, as well as Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes according to Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the right mentioned in para. 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to Information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing to us, we are obligated to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed about those recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Furthermore, you have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means. In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be adversely affected by this. The right to data portability 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.

Right to Withdraw Consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

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 us,
  2. Is authorised by the Union or Member State law to which we are subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests or
  3. Is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data under Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

In the cases referred to in points (a) and (c), we 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 point of view and to contest the decision.

Automated decision-making, including profiling, according to Art. 22 para. 1 and 4 GDPR does not take place.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

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

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority competent for us:

Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht)
Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach
Phone: +49 (0) 981 180093-0
Fax: +49 (0) 981 180093-800
Email: poststelle@lda.bayern.de

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

Right to Object

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 point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

We shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to 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 concerning you shall no longer be processed for such purposes.
