9 Rights of the data subject

Right to obtain information on the processing of their own data, right of access to their data and right to request rectification of their data

You have the right to be informed by the controller of whether your personal data is being processed. If your personal data is being processed, you have the right to receive a copy of your personal data and information on the purposes of the processing and other matters related to the nature of the processing.

If your personal data is incomplete or otherwise incorrect, you can demand that the controller rectify your data.

Right to request the erasure or restricting the processing of data and the right to object to processing

You may require that the controller delete your personal data, for example, when the controller no longer needs your personal data for the original purpose, your personal data is being unlawfully processed in your opinion, or you withdraw your consent as the legal basis for the processing of your data. However, if the retention of your personal data is necessary to establish, present or defend a legal claim, the controller is not under any obligation to delete your data.

You may require that the controller restrict the processing of your personal data to only include its storage, for example when it is unclear whether your personal data is accurate or being lawfully processed.

When the legal basis for the processing of your data is the legitimate interest of the controller, the public interest or the exercise of public authority, you have the right to object to the processing of your data on the basis of your personal, special situation. However, if there is a significant and justified reason for processing that overrides your rights, the processing of your data can continue.

Right to withdraw consent

If the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. After your consent has been withdrawn, the controller may no longer process your personal data for which your consent was the only grounds for processing.

Exercise of the data subject's rights

As a rule, the actions the controller takes due to your request are free of charge for you. However, you must be able to identify yourself reliably for your request to be approved. Therefore, if necessary, the controller may require you to prove your identity at the time of your request.
