Rights of the Data Subject

Personal data in the customer register is processed based on the legitimate interest of the data controller (GDPR Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sub-paragraph e). In this case, the legitimate interest is formed by the customer relationship. Personal data is also processed based on a contract between the data controller and the data subject (GDPR Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sub-paragraph b). This basis for processing is described in more detail in section 4 of the privacy statement. When data is processed based on legitimate interest and a contract, the data subject has the rights listed below.

Even if any of the conditions are met, data does not need to be removed if the processing is necessary, for example, to comply with a legal obligation under applicable EU law or national legislation.

Right to Access One's Data

Data subjects have the right to request access to their personal data to ascertain whether or not their data is being processed.

They generally have the right to know what information about them has been stored in the customer register. The data controller can ask the data subject to specify what information or processing activities their request pertains to.

The right to access information may be restricted or denied under GDPR if providing the information would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. Such protected rights include, for example, the trade secrets of the data controller or another person's personal data. The right may also be restricted by national legislation (e.g., the Data Protection Act).

Right to Rectification

Data subjects have the right to demand that the data controller rectify without undue delay any inaccurate or incorrect personal data concerning them.

Right to Erasure

The data controller must, upon request by the data subject, erase their personal data without undue delay if any of the following conditions are met:

  • Data is no longer needed for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • The data subject opposes the processing and there is no justified reason for the processing.
  • The data subject opposes the processing for direct marketing (though processing may still be possible for other purposes).
  • Data has been processed unlawfully.

Right to Object to Data Processing

Data subjects have the right to object to the processing of their data based on their specific personal situation when the data is processed based on legitimate interest.

Data subjects do not have the right to object to data processing when it is based on a contract between the data controller and the data subject.

If the registered individual has objected to the processing of their data based on a specific personal situation, they must identify the special circumstance on which they base their objection to processing carried out on legitimate interest grounds. The data controller may continue processing the data despite the objection if there are significantly important and justified reasons that override the registered individual's interests, rights, and freedoms, or if it is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

The registered individual has the right to object at any time to the use of their personal data for direct marketing purposes. If the registered individual objects to the use of their personal data for direct marketing, the data may no longer be processed for this purpose.

Right to Restrict Processing

The data controller must, upon the request of the data subject, restrict the active processing of personal data in the following situations:

  • The data subject disputes the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful and the data subject requests restriction instead of erasure.
  • The data controller no longer needs the data but the data subject requires it for legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to the processing and the evaluation of whether the legitimate grounds of the data controller override those of the data subject is pending.

Right to Data Portability

To the extent that the data subject has provided data that is processed automatically and based on a contract between the data controller and the data subject, the data subject has the right to receive such data in a generally machine-readable format and to transfer the data directly from one data controller to another, if technically feasible.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

Data subjects have the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if they believe that the data controller has not complied with applicable data protection regulations.

Requests Regarding the Exercise of Data Subject Rights

For questions related to data processing and exercising their own rights, data subjects can contact the person mentioned in section 2 of each register's privacy clause.

Requests for access rights or other requests related to exercising the data subject's rights should be made in writing, either by email or by post. The request can also be presented in person at the data controller's location. The data controller may ask the data subject to specify adequately what data or processing activities the request pertains to.
