If personal data is required to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit. b of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
If processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. c of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

For data processing for scientific, historical or statistical research purposes:
Your right to restriction of processing can be restricted to the extent that it is likely to make the realization of the research or statistical purposes impossible or seriously compromises it and the restriction is necessary to fulfill the research or statistical purposes.
4. Right to erasure
a) Obligation to erase
You can request that the controller erase the personal data concerning you immediately, and the controller is obliged to erase this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:
(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(a) or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

c) Exceptions
The right to deletion does not apply if the processing is necessary
(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
(2) to fulfill a legal obligation that requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 (2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to make the realization of the objectives of this processing impossible or seriously compromises it, or
(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
5. Right to information
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you was disclosed of said rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, unless doing so should prove impossible or involve disproportionate expenditure.
You have the right to be informed by the controller of these recipients.
6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have made available to the controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was made available, provided that
(1) the processing is based on consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Art. 6 Ab
s. 1 lit. b GDPR and
(2) the processing is carried out using automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be impaired by this.
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 controller.
7. Right of objection
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
In connection with the use of information society services, you have the option of exercising your right of objection by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC.
When data is processed for scientific, historical or statistical research purposes:
You also have the right to object, for reasons related to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 (1) GDPR.
Your right of objection can be restricted to the extent that it is likely to make the realization of the research or statistical purposes impossible or seriously compromises it and the restriction is necessary to fulfill the 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 the consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling
You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This shall not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for entering into or fulfilling a contract between you and the controller,
(2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and this law contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or
(3) is made with your explicit consent.
However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests have been taken.
In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
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 residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority to which the complaint was submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.
