This does not apply if this proves impossible or if it involves disproportionate means. We will provide you with the names of these recipients if you so request.


6.7. Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)


You have the right to receive the data about you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to have us transfer this data to a third party, provided

- Whether the data processing is based on your consent or on a contract and
- that the processing is carried out using automated procedures.


In doing so, you can request that we transfer your data directly to the third party, insofar as this is technically possible. This right must not infringe the rights and freedoms of other persons.


6.8. Automated individual decision, including profiling (Article 22 GDPR)


You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – where it produces legal effects concerning or similarly affecting you. This does not apply if:

- You have previously given your express consent to this or
- if the decision is necessary for entering into or performance of a contract between us or
- if the applicable legal provisions allow it and if these provisions contain appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.


In the first two cases, we will take reasonable steps to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests. It is up to you here to explain your own position, to challenge the automatic decision and to request the intervention of one of our collaborators.


6.9. Right to object (Article 21 GDPR)


If we process your data on the basis of a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), you have the right to object if the reasons for this result from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. In this case, we will no longer process your data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing. This must override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If we process your data for direct marketing purposes, you can object to the processing of this data. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to this direct advertising.

After your objection, your data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

To object, simply send an informal message to the contact details indicated in point 1 (data controller).


6.10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Article 77 GDPR)


You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of the data about you violates the General Data Protection Regulation. This approach is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy to which you may claim.
