4. Your Rights 

Under applicable data protection law, you have comprehensive data subject rights with respect to us, the controller, regarding the processing of your personal data. 

We would like to inform you about these rights below:

Right to withdraw consent given in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR:

If you have consented to us processing your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data at any time with effect for the future. In the event of revocation, we will immediately delete the data concerned, unless further processing can be based on a legal basis for processing without consent. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Right of Access according to Art. 15 DSGVO:
You have the right to information about whether and which of your personal data we process. In addition, you can request information from us about the purposes for which we process this, which categories of personal data are processed in the process and to which recipients or categories of recipients we have disclosed your data, how long we intend to store your data and/or according to which criteria we have determined how long this data is stored. 

In addition, we will be happy to inform you whether you have a right to rectification, whether processing can be restricted, how and where you can lodge a complaint against the processing of your personal data, where we got your data from if it was not collected by us, whether automated decision-making (so-called profiling) is used and, if so, what logic is used in the process and what the implications are for you. In addition, we will be happy to inform you about the guarantees according to Art. 46 GDPR when your data is forwarded to third countries.

Right to rectification according to Art. 16 GDPR:
You have the right that we correct and / or complete your data stored by us without delay.

Right to erasure according to Art. 17 GDPR:
You have the right to request the deletion of your data if the conditions of Art. 17 (1) GDPR are met. This is the case if 

  • The personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
  • You revoke your previously given consent to processing and there is no other legal basis for processing;
  • you object to the processing;
  • Your personal data are processed unlawfully;
  • The erasure of the data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which we, the controller, are subject;
  • The personal data has been collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

In this regard, please note that this right does not exist if

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 according to Art. 18 GDPR:
You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data by us if 

  • You dispute the accuracy of your personal data and in doing so give us enough time to verify this;
  • The processing is unlawful and you request the restriction of processing instead of erasure;
  • We no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing but you need it to defend legal claims; 
  • You object to the processing and the data was previously processed on the basis of our legitimate interest or the processing was entrusted to us on the basis of the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority. In this case, the right to restriction of processing applies until it is determined whether your interests prevail. 

If you invoke one of these grounds, we will only process your personal data with your consent or if necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State. 

If we should lift this restriction on processing, we will inform you of this beforehand.

Right to information pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR:

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we will inform other recipients of your data about this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort for us. 

In this case, you may request that we inform you about these recipients. 

Right to data portability according to Art. 20 GDPR:

You have the right to receive your personal data, which you have provided to us, in a common and machine-readable format or to request the transfer to another responsible party. This only applies if the technical feasibility for this exists.

Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR:

If you assume that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. 

In our case, you can do this, for example, at the Bavarian State Office for Data Security: https://www.lda.bayern.de/de/index.html 

Right of objection according to Art. 21 GDPR:

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which was carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest or where the processing was entrusted to us for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority; this also applies to profiling based on the provisions of the GDPR.

If you exercise your right to object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
