You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. A withdrawal of consent does not prejudice the lawfulness of the processing that had been carried out based on the consent before it was withdrawn.

9. Automated individual decision-making including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or significantly affects you in a similar way.

This does not apply if the decision

  1. is necessary for entering into or performance of a contract between you and the data controller;
  2. is authorized by EU or member-state law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
  3. is based on your explicit consent.

However, those decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller will implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the stipulations of the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 of the GDPR.
