§ 5 RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

In the following we shall explain your rights as a data subject as per Art. 15 of the GDPR. You may exercise these rights at any time and approach us directly in this respect. Insofar as you claim such rights towards us, we shall immediately consider such in the light of the statutory requirements and provisions prevailing. In this respect we might have to ask you for more information. We shall explain to you in detail the results of our deliberations as well as our approach to satisfying your query. It may be the case in all this that we are not able to fully meet your requirements in the way you would like us to.

This should not prevent you from claiming your rights towards us or to ask us about such. We shall be only too pleased to answer all your queries.

You have the right to obtain information at any time as to whether and which data regarding your person we are processing. This shall also include details on the purpose of the processing and perhaps even recipients of data we have disclosed to third parties, the intended storage period and perhaps even the origin of such data insofar as we have not obtained such directly from you. Moreover, you have the right to receive a one-off copy of the personal data we have stored about you free-of-charge. We reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee for the issue of further copies.

(5) Right of objection to processing

You may file an objection against the processing of your personal data when such processing is based on a weighing up of interests. This is the case particularly when the processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract with you, something which we demonstrate in each following description of the functions. When exercising such objection, we ask for a statement of the reasons why we should not process your personal data in the way we have hitherto done so. In the event of justified objection, we shall check the case and either cease data processing entirely, modify it or indicate the compelling and legitimate grounds upon which we shall continue with the processing.

Of course, you may object to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes and data analysis at any time. You can inform us about such objection by using the contact methods indicated above.
