VI. Rights of the Data Subject

As a data subject under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have several rights concerning your personal data held by the controller:

You have the right to confirmation from the controller regarding whether your personal data is being processed. If so, you have the right to obtain the following information:

• The purposes for processing your personal data.
• The categories of personal data processed.
• Recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data has been or will be disclosed.

• The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
• Information about the origins of the data if it was not collected from you.
• The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and meaningful information about the logic and potential consequences involved in such processing.

You also have the right to know if your personal data has been or will be transferred to a third country or international organization. In this regard, you can request information about the appropriate safeguards for this processing under Article 46 of the GDPR.

Upon request, the controller will provide a copy of your processed personal data. If you request additional copies, a reasonable fee may be charged based on administrative costs. If your request is made electronically, the information will be provided in a standard electronic format, unless otherwise specified by you. However, this right to receive a copy must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

b) Right to Correction

You have the right to request the correction of inaccurate personal data concerning you without undue delay. If your personal data is incomplete, you have the right to have it completed, including by providing a supplementary statement.

c) Right to Limit Processing

Under certain conditions, you have the right to request the controller to restrict the processing of your personal data, including when:

• The accuracy of your personal data is contested, allowing the controller to verify its accuracy.
• The processing is unlawful, and you oppose the deletion of your data but request the restriction of its use instead.
• The controller no longer needs your personal data for processing purposes, but you require it for legal claims or defense.
• You have objected to processing under Article 21, Paragraph 1 of the GDPR, pending verification of whether the controller's legitimate reasons override your own.

When your personal data processing is restricted, it will only be processed with your consent, for legal claims, for the protection of another person's rights, or for reasons of important public interest.

You will be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.

d) Right to Deletion

Obligation to Delete:

You have the right to request the controller to delete your personal data without undue delay if one of the following applies:

• Your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
• You withdraw your consent (if consent was the legal basis) and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

• Your personal data has been unlawfully processed.
• Your personal data must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation under EU or Member State law.
• Your personal data was collected in relation to the offer of information society services to children (Art. 8, Paragraph 1 of the GDPR).

Information to Third Parties:

When the controller has made your personal data public and is obliged to delete it, reasonable steps, including technical measures, will be taken to inform other controllers processing your data of your request for deletion, as well as any links to, copies of, or replications of your personal data.

Exceptions:

The right to deletion does not apply in cases where processing is necessary:

• For exercising the right of freedom of expression and information.
• For compliance with a legal obligation under EU or Member State law.
• For reasons of public interest in public health.
• For archiving purposes in the public interest, for scientific or historical research, or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89, Paragraph 1 of the GDPR.
• For the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

You are also entitled to require that the data controller informs you about these recipients.

In exercising this right, you have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. However, this right does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
