• Right to revocation:

Some data processing can only take place with your express consent. You have the option to withdraw your consent at any time. However, this does not affect the legality of data processing up to the point of revocation.

• Right of objection:

If the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you as the data subject can object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. You also have this right in the case of profiling based on these provisions within the meaning of Art. 4(4) GDPR. If we cannot demonstrate a legitimate interest in the processing that outweighs your interests, rights and freedoms or if processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, we will refrain from processing your data after the objection has been made.

If the processing of personal data serves the purpose of direct marketing, you also have the right to object to this at any time. The same applies to profiling in connection with direct advertising. Here too, we will no longer process personal data as soon as you object.

• Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority:

If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR, 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, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

If you have any questions on this topic or other topics relating to personal data, you can of course contact us using the contact details provided in the legal notice.

• Right to restriction of processing:

You can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data at any time. To do so, you must fulfil one of the following requirements:

• You contest the accuracy of the personal data. You have the right to request a restriction of processing for the duration of the verification of accuracy.
• If the processing is unlawful, you can request the restriction of the use of the data as an alternative to erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need the data for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, you can request the restriction of processing as an alternative to erasure.
• If you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your interests and ours will be weighed up. Until this balancing has taken place, you have the right to request the restriction of processing.

Restriction of processing means that, with the exception of storage, personal data may 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.
