VII. Your Rights as Data Subject

To the extent the GDPR applies, you are entitled to the following rights as data subject, which you can assert against us. Similar rights may exist under the PDPA.

Right to limitation of processing: Under the conditions of art. 18 GDPR you are entitled to request from us the limitation of the processing of your personal data.

Right of appeal to a supervisory authority: You are entitled to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your place of residence, work or suspected infringement, under the conditions laid down in Article 77 GDPR, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

Personal data which we do not necessarily require for the above-mentioned processing purposes are marked as voluntary information.

IX. Automated Decision Making/ Profiling

We do not use automated decision making or profiling (an automated analysis of your personal circumstances).

Information about your right of ojection art. 21 GDPR (only applicable to the extent the GDPR applies)

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data on the basis if art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR (data processing on the basis of balance of interests) or art. 6 para. 1e GDPR (data processing in the public interest), if there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of art. 4 No. 4 GDPR.
 
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can prove compelling and applicable reasons for the processing, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If you do not wish to receive advertising, you have the right to object to it at any time; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.
