According to the basic data protection regulation (EU) 2016/679, you have various rights with regard to your personal data.
These rights can be exercised by sending a service desk request to https://openimis.atlassian.net/servicedesk.
Verification: To verify your request, we will take reasonable steps, such as asking you to send us confirmation from the email address associated with your account so that we can verify that you are the owner of that email account. If no email address is associated with your account, we may ask you for a copy of your ID.
Right to withdraw consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by notifying us by email to contact@openimis.org . A revocation of your consent does not affect the legality of the processing based on your consent up to the time of revocation.
Right of objection: You have a right of objection under the conditions of Article 21 DSGVO. You will find more detailed information on this below:
Right of objection in case of processing based on legitimate interests: As a data subject, you have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you carried out pursuant to Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) FADP, including profiling based on these provisions. In the event of an objection for reasons arising from your particular situation, we shall no longer process the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing is for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
Right to object to processing for statistical purposes: If we process your personal data for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 9 (2)(j) GDPR, § 27 (1) BDSG, you have the right to object to such processing for reasons arising from your particular situation. In the event of such objection, we will no longer process the personal data concerned for this purpose, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or if the discontinuation of the processing is likely to make the achievement of the statistical purposes impossible or seriously prejudice them and the continuation of the processing is necessary for the fulfilment of the statistical purposes.
Right to object to direct marketing: Where personal data are processed for the purpose of carrying out direct marketing activities, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you for the purpose of such marketing activities, including profiling, insofar as it relates to such direct marketing activities. In the event of an objection to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, we shall no longer process the personal data concerned for those purposes.
To exercise your right of objection, you can contact us at any time by e-mail at contact@openimis.org.
Right of access: As a data subject, you have a right of access under the conditions of Article 15 GDPR. This means in particular that you have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we are processing personal data relating to you. If this is the case, you also have a right of access to this personal data and to the information listed in Article 15 (1) GDPR. This includes, for example, information about the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data processed and the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed.
Right to delete/"right to be forgotten": As a data subject, you have a right of deletion ("right to be forgotten") under the conditions laid down in Article 17 GDPR. This means that you are in principle entitled to demand that we delete personal data relating to you without delay and we are obliged to delete personal data without delay if one of the reasons listed in Article 17 (1) GDPR applies. You can do this at any time, for example, by deleting your account. If we have made the personal data public and we are obliged to delete them, we are also obliged, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform other data controllers who process the personal data that a data subject has requested that all links to these personal data or copies or replications of these personal data be deleted (Article 17 (2) GDPR). The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") does not apply by way of exception if the processing is necessary for the reasons listed in Article 17 (3) FADP. This may be the case, for example, if the processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (Article 17 (3) (a) and (e) FADP).
Right to restrict processing: As a data subject, you have a right to restrict processing under the conditions of Article 18 GDPR. This means that you have the right to demand that we restrict processing if one of the conditions listed in Article 18 (1) GDPR is met. This may be the case, for example, if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data. In this case, the processing will be limited for a period of time that allows us to verify the accuracy of the personal data (Article 18 (1) (a) FADP). Restriction means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing (Article 4 (3) GDPR).
Right of rectification: As a data subject, you have a right of rectification under the conditions of Article 16 of the GDPR. This means in particular that you have the right to demand that we correct incorrect personal data relating to you without delay and complete incomplete personal data.
Right of appeal: As a data subject, you have the right to appeal to a supervisory authority under the conditions of Article 77 of the GDPR. The responsible authority in this case is the German Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI).
If you request us to stop processing your personal data or to delete them, this will mean that you will no longer be able to use our services or at least those parts of the services which require the processing of the types of personal data you have asked us to delete, which may mean that you will no longer be able to use the services as a whole.
Any changes we make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by email or by notification via the App. Therefore, we encourage you to check this page from time to time so that you are kept informed of how we are processing your information.
