(2) to fulfill any legal obligation necessary by the law of the Union or of the Member States to which we are subject, or to perform a task of public interest or in the exercise of official authority which has been delegated to us;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) lit. h and i and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
(4) for archival purposes of public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes acc. to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, to the extent that the law referred to in section (1) is likely to render impossible or seriously affect the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

e. Right to information

If you have the right to rectify, erase or limit the processing to us, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data have been disclosed of this correction or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves to be impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be notified by us about these recipients.

f. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit said personal data which has been provided to us to another controller without hindrance from us where

(1) the processing is based on a consent acc. to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR or on a contract acc. to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and
(2) the processing is done by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from us to another controller, where technically feasible. This right shall not adversely affect freedoms and rights of other persons.

The right to data portability shall not apply to processing of personal data which is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.

g. Right to object

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e or f EU GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

We shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Where the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

Where you object to processing for direct marketing purposes the personal data concerning you shall no longer be processed for such purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you have the option of objecting by automated means using technical specifications.

h. Right to withdraw the data privacy based consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

i. Automated decision-making, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – that will have legal effects concerning you or similarly affect you. This does not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us,
(2) is authorized by Union or member state law to which we are subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interest; or
(3) with your explicit consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data under Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) lit. a or g GDPR and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), we take suitable measures to protect your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on our part, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

j. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of alleged infringement if you believe that the processing of the personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR

The responsible supervisory authority for us is:

Thüringer Landesbeauftragter für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit
Postfach 900455
99107 Erfurt

Häßlerstraße 8
99096 Erfurt

The supervisory authority to which you have lodged a complaint informs you of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.

For further questions our data protection officer is always at your disposal.
