The right to complain exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only occur insofar as it is technically feasible.

  • If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may instead request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of deletion.
