The right to erasure is excluded if the processing of the data is necessary:
• to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information
• to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or a law of one of the Member States
• to perform a task in the public interest
• for the exercise of official authority, insofar as this has been delegated to the controller
• for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR

If there is an obligation to delete the data:
The responsible body will inform you about the deletion of the data. If the personal data concerning you has been made public by the responsible body, all responsible bodies that process this data will also be informed of your request for deletion. This then also concerns the deletion of all links to the data and / or copies and / or replications of the data.
4. Right to restrict processing, Art. 18 GDPR
Under the following conditions, the processing of personal data concerning you must be temporarily or permanently restricted at your request:
• you have contested the accuracy of the data, Art. 16 GDPR, and this is verified by the controller
• the processing is unlawful, but you wish to have the processing restricted instead of erasing it
• the data is no longer necessary for the purposes of processing, but you need the data to assert, exercise or defend legal claims
• you have lodged an objection to processing, Art. 21 (1) GDPR, but it is not yet clear whether this is justified
After the restriction of processing has taken place, you will be informed of this by the controller, as well as before the restriction is lifted again. After the restriction, your data may continue to be stored, but only processed in the following cases:
• consent has been given
• legal claims are to be asserted, exercised or defended
• for the protection of another person
• there is an important public interest of the EU and / or a Member State
5. Right to information, Art. 19 GDPR
If you have exercised your rights under Articles 16 to 18 of the GDPR (rectification, erasure, restriction of processing), the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.
6. Right to data portability, Art. 20 GDPR
The controller must provide you with the personal data relating to you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. The unimpeded transfer of this data to another controller must be ensured, provided that
• the processing is based on consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR) and / or
• the processing is carried out to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and
• the processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures
The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected. The right to data portability does not exist for data processing operations
• for the performance of a task in the public interest
• in the exercise of official authority, insofar as it has been delegated to the responsible body
You may request that the data be transferred directly to another responsible body, insofar as this is technically feasible.
7. Right of objection, Art. 21 GDPR
You may object at any time if the data processing
• is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or
• serves direct advertising purposes or
• is carried out for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR
The same applies to corresponding profiling. The objection must be justified. It is sufficient if you state as a reason that you no longer wish the data to be processed. After the objection, the data will no longer be processed.
The controller may continue to process the data despite your objection if
• there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms; or
• the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
• in the case of processing under Article 89(1) of the GDPR: processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
In connection with the use of information society services, you may also exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
8. Right of withdrawal, Art. 7 (3) GDPR
You can revoke the data protection consent in its entirety for the future at any time. The lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation remains unaffected by this.
9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling, Art. 22 GDPR
You have the right to withdraw from a decision based on automated processing if the decision produces legal effects vis-à-vis you or similarly significantly affects you. The same applies to profiling.
This right is not subject to limitations if the decision is based on special categories of personal data as defined in Article 9(1) of the GDPR, e.g. data concerning political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, genetic or biometric data and data concerning health or sex life or sexual orientation.
However, if you have consented to automated processing and neither Union law nor the law of a Member State prohibits such consent (Article 9(2)(a) GDPR) or if the processing is necessary for a substantial public interest (Article 9(2)(g) GDPR), your right may be excluded as described below, even if special categories of personal data are processed.
This right shall not exist if the decision based on automated processing is
• is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller, or
• is permissible based on legal provisions of the Union and/or one of the Member States and
• your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests are adequately protected by these legal provisions or
• is carried out with your express consent
In the above first and last case of an exclusion of your right described here, the controller will take reasonable steps to safeguard your other rights, freedoms and legitimate interests. This includes, in particular, the right to intervene in the decision by the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
10. Right to complain to a supervisory authority, Art. 77 GDPR
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the GDPR. You will be informed by the supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged about the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possible remedies (esp. Art. 78 GDPR). The competent supervisory authority for us is:
