Right of access by the data subject (Article 15 GDPR):

You have the right to request information from us at any time about the data we hold about you. This information includes, among other things, the categories of data we process, the purposes for which they are processed, the source of the data if they were not collected directly from you, and, if applicable, the recipients to whom we have disclosed your data. You may obtain a copy of your data from us free of charge. Should you require additional copies, we reserve the right to charge you for these copies.

Right of rectification (Article 16, GDPR):

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate data relating to you. We will take reasonable steps to keep the data we store and process accurate, complete and up to date on an ongoing basis, based on the most current information available.

Right to erasure (Article 17, GDPR):

You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing (Article 18, GDPR):

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data if the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, if the processing is unlawful but you object to its erasure and we no longer need the data, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or if you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.

Right to data portability (Article 20, GDPR):

You have the right to request that we transfer your data – if technically possible – to another controller. However, you can only exercise this right if the data processing is based on your consent or is necessary for the performance of a contract. Instead of receiving a copy of your data, you may also request that we transfer the data directly to another controller designated by you.

Right to object (Article 21, GDPR):

You have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation, provided that the data processing is based on your consent, on our legitimate interests or those of a third party. In this case, we will stop processing your data. This does not apply if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, or if we need your data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to withdraw consent (Article 7(3), GDPR):

a. You have the right to revoke your consent to us at any time. This has the consequence that we may not continue the data processing based on this consent for the future.
