5. RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

Rights to which you are entitled

As a data subject affected by data processing, you are entitled to the following rights under data protection law:

  • Right to information: On request, we will provide you with free information about the extent, origin and recipient(s) of stored data and the purpose of storage. Please scroll down to find the requests of information form. If requests for information are excessively frequent (i.e. more than twice a year), we reserve the right to charge an expense reimbursement fee.
  • Right to rectification: If incorrect information is stored despite our efforts to maintain accurate and up-to-date data, we will correct it at your request.
  • Erasure: Under certain conditions you are entitled to erasure, for example if you have presented an objection or if data have been collected unlawfully. If there are grounds for erasure (i.e. if there are no statutory duties or overriding interests against erasure), we will affect the requested erasure without undue delay. 
  • Restriction: If there are justified reasons for erasure, you may also use those reasons to request a restriction of data processing instead; in such a case the relevant data must continue to be stored (e.g. for the preservation of evidence), but must not be used in any other way. 
  • Objection/revocation: You have a right to object against data processing conducted by us if you have a legitimate interest, and if data processing is conducted for direct marketing purposes. Your right to object is absolute in its effect. Any consent you have given may be revoked in writing at any time and free of charge.
  • Data portability: If, after giving us your data, you want to transmit them to a different data controller, we will send them to you in an electronically portable format.
  • Right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority: Please also note that you have a right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority: You are entitled to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your place of residence, your workplace or the place of the suspected violation, if you believe that the processing of your personal data has breached GDPR. However, you are also welcome to contact us directly at any time.

6. CONTACT FORM

Your details, including personal data communicated through our contact forms, are sent to us via our own mail server for the purpose of answering your enquiries and are then processed and stored by us. Your data are only used for the purpose specified on the form and are erased no later than 6 months after the conclusion of processing.


7. NOTE ON SECURITY

We endeavour to take all possible technical and organisational measures to store your personal data in such a way that they cannot be accessed by third parties. When communicating by email, complete data security cannot be guaranteed, and we therefore recommend that you send confidential information by surface mail.
