 Your rights of objection

 

1. Individual right of objection

Specifically, the previously mentioned right to object in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR means that you always have the right to object to the processing of your data for reasons relating to your specific situation. This requires the data processing to have occurred in the public interest or based on a balance of interests (Art. 6 (1) letter e or f GDPR). This also applies for any corresponding profiling.

If you object to the processing of your personal data, we will no longer process this data, unless we are able to provide evidence of compelling legitimate grounds for the processing, which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, enforce or defend against legal claims.

 

2. Right of objection against processing for the purposes of direct marketing

In accordance with Art. 21 (2) GDPR, you as the "data subject" also have a separate right of objection in the event that your personal data is used for direct marketing. This also applies for profiling, if this is related to direct marketing.
If you exercise this right of objection, we as the "controller" will no longer process your personal data for this purpose.

An objection does not need to be submitted in a specific form, but should be directed to:
