General

With regard to the processing of your personal data, you, as a data subject, have the following rights under Art. 15 e.g. GDPR to:

  • You can request information  about whether we process personal data from you. If this is the case, you have the right to information about these personal data as well as to other information related to the processing (Art. 15 GDPR). Please note that in certain cases this right of access may be limited or excluded (see in particular Art. 10 BayDSG).
  • In the event that personal data about you is no longer (no longer) accurate or incomplete, you may request a correction  and, if necessary,  completion of such data (Art. 16 GDPR).
  • If the legal requirements are met, you can request the deletion of your personal data (Art. 17 GDPR) or the restriction of the processing of this data (Art. 18 GDPR). However, the right to erasure under Art. 17 sec. 1 and 2 GDPR does not exist, among other things, if the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a task. This is in the public interest or is in the exercise of official authority (Art. 17 sec. 3(3) (b GDPR).
  • If you have consented to the processing or if there is a contract for data processing and the data processing is carried out by means of automated procedures, you may have the right to data portability  (Art. 20 GDPR).
  • If there is an international transfer of personal data without the basis of an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, you have the right to obtain a copy of the contractual guarantees upon request to us.
  • You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority within the meaning of Article 51 GDPR about the processing of your personal data. The Bavarian State Commissioner for Data Protection, Wagmüllerstraße 18, 80538 Munich, is responsible for the supervisory authority for Bavarian public authorities. In addition to the right of complain, you may also seek for a judicial remedy.

Withdrawal of consent

Insofar as the processing is carried out on the basis of consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The revocation only works for the future; that is, the revocation does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Right to object (article 21 GDPR)

For reasons arising from your particular situation, you can also object to the processing of personal data concerning you by us at any time (Art. 21 GDPR). If the legal requirements are met, we will no longer process your personal data.

The obligation to archive with its precedence over the deletion remains  unaffected in the context of limits for the deletion of data.
