The Data Controller shall inform the Data Subject of the measures taken in response to a request submitted to the Data Controller for the purpose of exercising the rights specified herein, without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt of the request. Where necessary, taking into account the complexity of the request and the number of requests, this time limit may be extended by a further two months.

The Data Subject shall not be able to exercise the rights listed in this section if the Data Controller demonstrates that it is not in a position to identify the Data Subject. If the Data Subject’s request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular on account of its repetitive character, the Data Controller may charge a reasonable fee for the fulfilment of the request or refuse to act on the request. The burden of demonstrating this shall be on the Data Controller. If the Data Controller has reasonable doubts concerning the identity of the natural person making the request, it may request the provision of additional information necessary to confirm the identity of the Data Subject.

7.1. Right to Information and Right of Access

The Data Subject has the right to access the personal data stored by the Data Controller and the information related to their processing, to request such data at any time, to verify what data the Data Controller holds about him or her, and to obtain access to the personal data.

Following the exercise of the right of access, the Data Subject is entitled to obtain confirmation from the Data Controller as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. Where such processing is taking place, the Data Subject is entitled to access the personal data and the following information: the purposes of the processing; the categories of personal data concerned; the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations; where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period; the existence of the right to request from the Data Controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the Data Subject, or to object to such processing; the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; where the personal data are not collected from the Data Subject, any available information as to their source; the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the Data Subject.

In respect of processing activities where the Data Controller carries out profiling, it shall provide the Data Subject with the data used as input for the creation of the profile, and shall provide access to information about the profile.

7.2. Right to Rectification and Completion

The Data Subject may request the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her and the completion of incomplete data, or where a change has occurred in respect of any data, the amendment of such data. The Data Subject is solely responsible for the accuracy and truthfulness of his or her personal data.

7.3. Right to Erasure

The Data Subject has the right to obtain from the Data Controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies: the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; the Data Subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based, and there is no other legal ground for the processing; the Data Subject objects to the processing of his or her personal data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing; the personal data have been unlawfully processed; the personal data have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the Data Controller is subject.

7.4. Right to Restriction of Processing

At the request of the Data Subject, the Data Controller shall restrict the processing where one of the following applies: the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the Data Subject; the processing is unlawful and the Data Subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead; the Data Controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the Data Subject for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims; the Data Subject has objected to processing.

7.5. Right to Data Portability

The Data Subject has the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to the Data Controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and has the right to transmit those data to another controller where the processing is based on consent or on a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means.

7.6. Right to Object

The Data Subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on legitimate interest or public interest, including profiling. In such a case, the Data Controller shall no longer process the personal data unless the Data Controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the Data Subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

7.7. Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

The Data Subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her. This provision shall not apply where the decision is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the Data Controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the Data Subject’s rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, the decision is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the Data Subject and the Data Controller, or the decision is based on the Data Subject’s explicit consent. In the latter cases, the Data Controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the Data Subject’s rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the Data Controller, to express his or her point of view, and to contest the decision.

7.8. Right to Withdraw Consent

The Data Subject has the right to withdraw his or her consent to data processing at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
