Your rights

As a data subject, you have the following legal rights under data protection law, about which we would like to inform you:

Right of access (Article 15 GDPR)

You have the right to request information about your personal data processed by us. In order to be able to process your request as quickly as possible, you should formulate your request for information as precisely as possible. We would like to point out that your right to information may be restricted due to legal provisions (in particular if the requirements of Section 34 of the Federal Data Protection Act are met).

Right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR)

You have the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

Right to erasure (Article 17 GDPR)

You have the right to request the erasure of personal data concerning you under the conditions of Article 17 GDPR. Your right to erasure depends on whether the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information or for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which we are subject or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)

You have the right to request the restriction of processing under the conditions of Article 18 GDPR.

Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)

Under the conditions of Article 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us. Where technically feasible, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted by us to another controller.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Article 77 GDPR)

We draw your attention to your 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 of the GDPR. A list of supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector) can be found here: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
