This right includes the correction of inaccurate data and the completion of incomplete personal data.

4.1.3 Right to deletion according to Art. 17 GDPR

This so called “right to be forgotten” gives you the right, under certain conditions, to demand the deletion of personal data by t he controller. This is generally the case if the purpose of the data processing as ceased to exist, if consent has been revoked or uf the initial processing took place without a legal basis. You can find a detailed list of reasons in Art. 17 (1) lit a to f GDPR. Furthermore, this “right to be forgotten” corresponds with the obligation of the controller under Art. 17 (2) GDPR to take appropriate measures to  bring about a general erasure of the data.

4.1.4 Right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 GDPR

This right is subject to the conditions set out in Art. 18 (1) (a) to (d).

4.1.5 Right to data portability according to Art. 20 GDPR

Here, the basic right to receive one’s own data is a common form and to transfer it to another data controller is regulated. However, this only applies to data processed on the basis of consent or a contract pursuant to Art. 20 (1) (a) and (b) and to the extent that this is technically feasible.

4.1.6 Right of objection according to Art 21 GDPR

In principle, you can object to the processing of your personal data. This applies in particular if your interest in objecting outweighs the legitimate interest of the controller in the processing and if the processing relates to direct marketing and/or profiling.

4.1.7 Right to “decision in individual cases” according to Art. 22 GDPR

In principle, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) which produces legal effects vis-à-vis you or similarly significantly affects you. However, this right is also subject to restrictions and additions in Art. 22(2) and (4) GDPR.

4.1.8 Other rights

The GDPR includes comprehensive rights to inform third parties whether or how you have asserted rights under Art. 16, 17, 18 GDPR. This, however, only insofar as this is also possible or feasible with a reasonable effort. At this point, we would like to inform you once again of your right to withdraw your consent in accordance wih Article 7 (3) of the GDPR. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out up to that point. In addition, we would like to inform you about your rights according to §§ 32 ff. BDSG, which, however, are largely congruent with the rights just described.

4.1.9 Right of appeal according to Art. 77 GDPR.

You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority if you consider that a processing of a personal data concerning you infringes this regulation.
