You have the right to demand information of whether the data relating to you is being transmitted to a third country or an international organisation.

You can request the limitation of the processing of personal data relating to you, according to the following conditions:

• If you deny the correctness of the personal data relating to you for a period that enables the data controller to check the correctness of the personal data.
• The processing is illegitimate and you reject the deletion of the personal data, and instead request the limitation of the use of the personal data.
• The data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require it for the exercise of legal claims.
• If you have raised an objection against data processing according to Art.1 GDPR, and if it is not certain yet if the justified interests of the data controller outweigh your reasons.

Suppose the processing of the personal data relating to you has been limited. In that case, this data may be processed, other than for storing, only with your consent or only to exercise legal claims or to protect the rights of another person or legal entity, or for reasons of a compelling public interest of the European Union.

If the limitation of the processing has been applied according to the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the limitation is lifted.

As a user, you can cancel your registration or demand the deletion of the personal data relating to you at any time. If the data is required for the fulfilment of a contract, you can request the removal of data only if the contract subject to data is concluded. Our data controller will be obligated to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

• Personal data relating to you is no longer required for the purposes for which it has been gathered or otherwise processed.
• You revoke your consent that served as the basis for the processing according to Art. 6 or Art. 9 GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

The legitimacy of the processing that has taken place up until your request for the removal of data will not be affected by the revocation of the consent.

If the data controller has made the personal data relating to you publicly accessible and if it is obligated to delete it according to Art. 17 GDPR, it will take appropriate measures, also of a technical nature, in consideration of the available technology and implementation costs, in order to inform the parties who are responsible for the data processing and who process the personal data, of the fact that you, as the data subject, have requested them to delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.
