We will not share this data without your consent.

The legal basis for processing is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

10. Your rights as a data subject

When processing your personal data, the GDPR grants you, as a data subject, certain rights:

‍

Right to information (Art. 15 GDPR)

You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed; if this is the case, you have the right to information about this personal data and to the information detailed in Article 15 GDPR.

‍

Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)

You have the right to immediately request the correction of incorrect personal data concerning you and, if necessary, the completion of incomplete data.

‍

Right to deletion (Art. 17 GDPR)

You have the right to request that personal data concerning you be deleted immediately, provided that one of the reasons set out in detail in Article 17 GDPR applies.

‍

Right to restrict processing (Art. 18 GDPR)

You have the right to request the restriction of processing if one of the conditions listed in Article 18 GDPR is met, e.g. if you have filed an objection to processing, for the duration of the audit by the person responsible.

‍

Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

In certain cases, which are detailed in Article 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive personal data concerning you in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that this data be transmitted to a third party.

‍

Right of withdrawal (Art. 7 GDPR)

If the processing of data is based on your consent, you are entitled under Article 7 (3) GDPR to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data at any time. Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the withdrawal is not affected.

If data is collected on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR (data processing to protect legitimate interests) or on the basis of Article 6 (1) (e) GDPR (data processing to protect public interest or in the exercise of official authority), you have the right to object to the processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will then no longer process the personal data unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

‍

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

In accordance with Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of data concerning you violates data protection regulations.
