5. Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific person concerned without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

The right to receive a copy under paragraph 3 shall not interfere with the rights and freedoms of other persons.

(4) Right to rectification

You have the right to demand that we correct any inaccurate personal data relating to you without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data - also by means of a supplementary declaration.

(5) Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")

You have the right to request that the responsible delete personal data concerning you without undue delay, and we are obliged to delete personal data without undue delay, if one of the following reasons applies:

  • The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • The person concerned revokes the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • The person concerned objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the person concerned objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
  • The personal data have been processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the responsible is subject.
  • The personal data has been collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8(1) DSGVO.

If the responsible has disclosed the personal data to the public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to paragraph 1, he shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, having regard to the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform data responsible, who process the personal data that a person concerned has requested that they erase all links to or copies or replications of such personal data.

The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary:

  • to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
  • for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the responsible 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 responsible;
  • 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 or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, where the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing, or
  • for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

(6) Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request us to restrict the processing of your personal data if one of the following conditions is met:

  • the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the person concerned for a period enabling the responsible to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
  • the processing is unlawful and the person concerned objects to the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;
  • the responsible no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the person concerned needs them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or
  • the person concerned has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, as long as it is not yet established whether the legitimate grounds of the responsible override those of the person concerned.

Where processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, such personal data shall - apart from being stored - only be processed with the consent of the person concerned 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 substantial public interest of the Union or a Member State.

In order to exercise the right to restrict processing, the person concerned may at any time contact us using the contact details provided above.

(7) Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transfer this data to another responsible without hindrance from the responsible to whom the personal data was provided, provided that:

  • the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) DSGVO and
  • the processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures.

When exercising the right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, you have the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from one responsible to another responsible, to the extent that this is technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data portability does not affect the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"). This right 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 responsible.

In connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1), unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

You can exercise the right to object at any time by contacting the respective person responsible.

(9) Automated decisions in individual cases 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:

  • is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the person concerned and the responsible,
  • is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the responsible is subject and that legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the person concerned, or
  • takes place with the express consent of the person concerned.

The responsible shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the person concerned rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person concerned on the part of the responsible, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.

The person concerned may exercise this right at any time by contacting the relevant responsible.

(10) Right to complain to a supervisory authority

They shall also have the right, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if the person concerned considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her infringes this regulation.

(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy

Without prejudice to any available administrative or non-judicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, you shall have the right to an effective judicial remedy if you consider that your rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of your personal data not in compliance with this regulation.
