I have been informed that this consent is voluntary and that I may revoke it at any time informally by telephone or in writing without giving reasons (see also the section on Overloop).

Subscription to the email newsletter takes place via a double opt-in procedure set up by the system.

The following data is stored: registration data, time of registration, confirmation, unsubscription, IP address and changes to the stored data. Collecting this data is necessary in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of the email address of the data subject and to protect the controller.

Where processing has been restricted, such data may—apart from storage—only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

If the restriction of processing is lifted, you will be informed by the controller beforehand.

4. Right to erasure

a) Obligation to erase

You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data immediately where one of the following grounds applies:

  2. the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

This right does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority.

7. Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

This does not apply if the decision:

  1. is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller;

  2. is authorized by Union or Member State law and includes suitable safeguards; or

  3. is based on your explicit consent.
