Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)

If your personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification process, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data – apart from storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
