3. Your rights as a data subject

As a data subject, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), insofar as their respective legal requirements are met:

  • Right to information (Article 15 GDPR): You have the right to receive information about any personal data of yours that is processed.
  • Right of amendment (Art. 16 GDPR): You can request the amendment of inaccurate personal data. In addition, you can request any incomplete data to be updated.
  • Right of deletion (Art. 17 GDPR): In certain cases, you can request that your personal data be deleted.
  • Right to restrict processing (Art. 18 GDPR): In certain cases, you can request that the processing of your data be restricted.
  • Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR): If you have provided data on the basis of a contract or consent and the processing is carried out by automated means, you can request to receive the data that you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or you can request that it be transmitted to another controller.

 

Right to object on a case-by-case basis:

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data in accordance with GDPR Article 6(1)(e) (performance of tasks carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority) or GDPR Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest), including profiling based on these provisions.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Objection to data processing for the purpose of direct marketing:

Insofar as we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such purpose, including profiling to the extent that it is related to direct marketing.

If you object to processing for the purpose of direct marketing, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.

 

Revocation of consent (Article 7(3) GDPR): If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future. This does not affect the legitimacy of the processing of your data prior to the revocation of your consent.

You can revoke your consent to cookies in the cookie centre. If you grant consent for individual services on our website, you will receive further information regarding the possibility to revoke your consent. See also item 5 (‘Exercising your right of revocation’).

Asserting your rights: To assert any of your aforementioned rights, please contact us at datenschutz@general-overnight.com or by post at the address specified above under item 1. Please ensure that we can identify you uniquely.

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection regulations, you can also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state or federal state of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged violation for which you are submitting a complaint.
