IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS.

The specific legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING PROFILING RELATED TO DIRECT MARKETING.

This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of this data to another controller, it will only be carried out where technically feasible.

Access, Correction, and Deletion

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You also have the right, if applicable, to request the correction or deletion of this data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

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

Disputed Accuracy of Data: If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
Unlawful Data Processing: If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
Data No Longer Needed: If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
Pending Objection: If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must take place. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
