The DSGVO grants you a variety of different rights. In the following we would like to inform you about them:

10. 1 Request access to your personal data – Art. 15 DSGVO – (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

10. 3 Request erasure of your personal data – Art. 17 DSGVO -. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

10.4 Request restriction of processing of your personal data – Art. 18 DSGVO -. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

10.5 Right of information – Art. 19 DSGVO – You have the right being informed by us if we have communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing carried out in accordance with Art, 16, Art. 17. (1) and Art. 18 to each recipient to whom the personal data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

10.6 Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party – Art. 20 DSGVO – We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

10.7 Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data – Art. 7 (3) DSGVO – However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

10.8 Right to complain – Art. 77 DSGVO – If you consider that the processing of any personal data is in breach of the GDPR, you have the right to submit a complaint to a supervisory authority: Unabhängiges Landeszentrum für Datenschutz Schleswig-Holstein, Frau Marit Hansen, Postfach 71 16, 24171 Kiel, Holstenstraße 98, 24103 Kiel, Telefon: 0431/988-1200, E-Mail: mail@datenschutzzentrum.de, Homepage: https://www.datenschutzzentrum.de.

11. Right to object

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes as described above.

In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

12. How long will we use the personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data and the purposes for which we process your personal data.

Art. 6 (1) a. DSGVO: Until you exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 (2) DSGVO.

Art. 6 (1) b. DSGVO: If there are legal storage periods, the data is regularly deleted after this period has expired, unless it is still required for the fulfilment of the contract or there is a justified interest in the continued storage.

Art. 6 (1) f. DSGVO. Until you exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 (2) DSGVO, unless and if there is no case of direct marketing, we can demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Furthermore, stored personal data shall be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
