In particular, you have the right to obtain information about your personal data processed by us, the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, complaint to a supervisory authority, the origin of your data if it was not collected from you by us, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing concerning you, as well as your right to be informed about the safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR when your data is transferred to third countries.

However, this right does not exist in particular if processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Right to Restriction of Processing in Accordance with Art. 18 GDPR
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data while the accuracy of your data disputed by you is being verified, if you refuse the erasure of your data due to unlawful data processing and instead request the restriction of the processing of your data, if you require your data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims after we no longer need this data once the purpose has been achieved, or if you have objected on grounds relating to your particular situation, as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds override yours.
Right to Notification in Accordance with Art. 19 GDPR
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed about these recipients.

Right to Lodge a Complaint in Accordance with Art. 77 GDPR
If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR, you have the right, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your place of residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.

If your personal data is processed by us for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising.
You may exercise your objection as described above.
