In the processing of personal data that is required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are needed to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.

c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary
(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

In exercising this right, the user also has the right to request that their personal data be transferred directly from one data controller to another data controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be impaired by this. The right to transferability shall not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the exercise of a task that is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred on the data controller.

The data controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning the user unless compelling and substantial grounds for the processing can be demonstrated that outweigh the user’s interests, rights, and freedoms, or where the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
If the personal data concerning the user are processed for direct marketing purposes, the user has the right to object at any time to the processing of their personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling in so far as it is related to such direct advertising.
If the user objects to the processing of data for the purposes of direct marketing, the personal data concerning the user will no longer be processed for these purposes.
The user has the option of exercising their right of objection in connection with the use of services of an information company by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, Directive 2002/58/EC notwithstanding.

8. Right to revoke the data protection declaration of consent
The user has the right to revoke their data protection declaration of consent at any time. The revocation of consent shall not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

9. Automated decision making in individual cases including profiling
The user has the right to refuse to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing—including profiling—that has a legal effect for them or which affects them substantially in a similar way. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between the user and the controller;
(2) is permissible on the basis of legal regulations of the European Union or Member States to which the controller is subject and these legal regulations include appropriate measures to safeguard the user’s rights, freedoms, and justified interests; or
(3) is taken with the user’s express consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on specific categories of personal data in accordance with Art 9 (1) GDPR, insofar as Art 9 (2) a or g GDPR does not apply and appropriate measures have been taken for the protection of the user’s rights, freedoms, and justified interests.

With regard to the cases stated in (1) and (3), the controller must take suitable measures to safeguard the user’s rights, freedoms, and justified interests, which includes as a minimum the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express the user’s point of view, and to contest the decision.

10. Right of appeal to a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, the user has the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State in which the user resides or works, or the location of the suspected infringement if the user believes that the processing of personal data concerning them is contrary to the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the option of a judicial remedy under Article 78 of the GDPR.
