Right to access personal data

The data subject has the right to obtain confirmation from the controller that their personal data are being processed or are not being processed, and if this personal data is being processed, the right to access the personal data.

Right to have data rectified

The data subject has the right to demand that the controller without undue delay corrects inaccurate or incorrect personal data concerning the data subject.

Right to restrict processing

The data subject has the right to request the controller to restrict the processing of their personal data if:

  • the data subject contests the accuracy of his or her personal data.
  • the processing of personal data is unlawful, but the data subject opposes the erasure of their personal data and instead requests the restriction of their use.
  • the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • the data subject has objected to the processing of his or her personal data pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

Right to object

In situations where the processing of personal data is based on a public interest or a legitimate interest of the controller or a third party, the data subject has the right to object to the processing of their personal data.

If the data subject exercises the right to object, the controller shall cease processing the personal data unless the controller can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

The data subject has the right to object to processing without specific justifications if the data is processed for direct marketing purposes.

In a situation where the data is processed for statistical or research purposes, the data subject may object to the processing of the data on grounds relating to his or her personal situation, in which case the controller must stop processing the data if the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

Right to have data erased

In situations where the processing of personal data is based on legal grounds other than compliance with a legal obligation of the controller or the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, the data subject has the right to request the erasure of their personal data. The requested data will be deleted unless the controller has a legal basis for refusing to delete the data, such as a legal obligation to retain the data.

Right to withdraw consent

To the extent that personal data is processed on the basis of the data subject’s consent, the data subject may withdraw their consent at any time by notifying the controller, see the contact details on the front page of this policy. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of consent before the withdrawal.
