You have the right to rectification and/or completion in relation to the controller if the personal data processed concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must make the correction without delay.

In the case of data processing for scientific, historical or statistical research purposes: your right to rectification may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make the implementation of research or statistical purposes impossible or seriously impaired and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of research or statistical purposes. 

3. Right to restrict processing

You may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:
1. if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period that enables the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
2. the processing is unlawful, and you refuse to delete the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data,
3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
4. if you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21(1) GDPR and it is not yet established whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

Where the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may be processed, except for its storage, only with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.          
If the restriction of processing has been restricted according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted. In the case of data processing for scientific, historical or statistical research purposes:
Your right to restrict processing may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make the implementation of research or statistical purposes impossible or seriously impaired and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of research or statistical purposes.  

4. Right to erasure

a) Obligation to erase

You may require the controller to immediately erase the personal data concerning you, and the controller is obliged to erase such data immediately, provided that one of the following reasons applies:

1. The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
2. You revoke your consent, on which the processing was based in accordance with Art. 6(1) lit. a or Art. 9(2) lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary:

1. to exercise the right to the freedom of expression and right to information; 
2. to fulfil a legal obligation which requires processing under the law of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject, or to carry out a task which is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority delegated to the controller; 
3. for reasons of public interest in the field of public health in accordance with Article 9(2) lit. h and i and Article 9(3) GDPR;
4. for archival purposes in the public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the law referred to in section (a) is likely to make the achievement of the objectives of such processing impossible or seriously impairs, or
5. for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

5. Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of the processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed, this rectification or deletion of the data or restriction of the processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed of these recipients in respect of the controller.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, customary, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance by the controller to whom the personal data was made available, provided that:

1. the processing is based on a consent in accordance with Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9(2) lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit.b GDPR and
2. processing is carried out by means of automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to require that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this. The right to data portability shall not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority delegated to the controller.  

7. Right of objection

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you, which takes place pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If the 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 the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling in so far as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

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

You also have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to this in the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89(1) GDPR. 

Their right to object may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make the implementation of research or statistical purposes impossible or seriously impaired and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of research or statistical purposes.

8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. 

9. Automated decision-making on a case-by-case basis, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that has legal effect against you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision: 

1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the person responsible;
2. is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject, and that legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
3. with your express consent.

However, such decisions must not be based on specific categories of personal data under Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2) lit. a or g applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to challenge the decision.
