If you give us your consent to keep a record of your application documents, we will store them for the processing period covered by the consent or at the latest until you withdraw your consent.

4. Rights of the data subject

As a data subject, you have the rights described below. If we have reasonable doubt about the identity of your person in the context of exercising one of the data subject rights, we may request additional information from you that is necessary to confirm the identity of your person.

For those rights that are asserted by means of a request, the time limit to comply with these requests is one month by law.

Right of access – Art 15 GDPR

You have the right to obtain information about the personal data we process concerning you at any time. The right to obtain information also includes the right to receive a copy of the data, provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons. For the creation of such a data copy, we may charge you a reasonable fee based on the administrative costs.

Right to rectification – Art 16 GDPR

You have the right to obtain the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning yourself and to have incomplete personal data completed.

Right to erasure – Art 17 GDPR

You have the right to obtain the erasure of personal data concerning you. However, this right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary

  • for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; or
  • for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; or
  • for reasons of public interest in the area of public health; or
  • for archiving purposes in public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes, where erasure is likely to make impossible, or at least seriously impair, the achievement of the purposes underlying the processing; or
  • for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing – Art 18 GDPR

You have the right to obtain the restriction of processing where at least one of the following applies:

  • the accuracy of the personal data is contested by you, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data; or
  • the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
  • the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims;
  • you have objected to processing pursuant to Art 21 para pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override yours.

If you have exercised your right to restriction of processing, we may process this personal data – with the exception of the storage of such data – only 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 an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

Right to object – Art 21 GDPR

You have the right to object to processing that is carried out on the basis of an overriding legitimate interest on our part or on the part of a third party (pursuant to Art 6 para 1 (f) GDPR). In the event of an objection, we will no longer process your data unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests.

An objection to the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes is possible at any time and will result in us no longer being allowed to process your data for this purpose in any case.

Right to data portability – Art 20 GDPR

In principle, you also have the right to receive the data a structured, common and machine-readable format and to transfer this data to another controller. However, the right to data portability only exists if the processing is based on your consent or on a contract and the processing is carried out with the help of automated processes. 

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority – Art 77 GDPR

If you believe that the processing of your data is unlawful and in breach of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The jurisdiction depends on your place of residence or place of work.
