Recipients of personal data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external bodies. In some cases, it is also necessary to transmit personal data to these external bodies.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING, 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 TO THE EXTENT IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING.

The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request that the data be transferred directly to another responsible person, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

Information, correction and erasure

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time about this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we will generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the check, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If the processing of your personal data was/is occurring unlawfully, you can request that data processing be restricted instead of erasure.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of erasure.

If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be used with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
