If personal data is processed by us, you are considered a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR, and you have the following rights against us (the data controller):

You can request confirmation from the data controller whether personal data concerning you is being processed. If such processing is taking place, you can request the following information from the data controller:

• the purposes for which the personal data is being processed;

• the categories of personal data being processed;

• the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been or will be disclosed;

• the planned duration of the storage of the personal data concerning you, or if specific details are not possible, the criteria used to determine the storage period;

• the existence of the right to request the correction or deletion of personal data concerning you, the right to request a restriction of processing by the data controller, or the right to object to such processing;

• the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

• all available information about the source of the data if the personal data was not collected from the data subject;

• the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, according to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR, and, at least in those 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 personal data concerning you is being transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR relating to the transfer.

You have the right to request correction and/or completion from the data controller if the personal data concerning you that is being processed is incorrect or incomplete. The data controller must make the correction without delay.

3.1 You can request the data controller to promptly delete personal data concerning you, and the data controller is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

• The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

• You withdraw your consent on which the processing based on Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR was relying, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

• You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

• The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.

• The erasure of personal data concerning you is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the data controller is subject.

• The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to the services offered by the information society pursuant to Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

3.2 If the data controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obligated to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR, they shall, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform data processors who are processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure of all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.

3.3 The right to erasure does not apply where processing is necessary:

• for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;

• for the performance of a legal obligation that requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the data 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 data 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;

• for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific of historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, to the extent that the right mentioned in paragraph 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.

Under the following conditions, you can request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:

• when you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you, for a period enabling the data controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

• when the processing is unlawful, and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;

• when the data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or

• when you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the data controller override your grounds.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, except for storage, such data may 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 processing restriction has been limited under the above-mentioned conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the restriction is lifted.

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

You have the right to be informed about these recipients by the data controller.

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

• the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR; and

• the processing is carried out by automated means.

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

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

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

After you have objected, the data controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless they can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If personal data concerning you 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, including 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.

You have the possibility to exercise your right to object in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by automated means using technical specifications.

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

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:

• is necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract between you and the data controller;

• is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the data controller is subject, and that law provides for suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests; or

• is based on your explicit consent.

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

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

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 the place of the alleged infringement if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.

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