- To promptly request the correction of incorrect personal data stored with us, or to request its completion;
- To request the deletion of your personal data held by us, insofar as it is not required for the purposes of exercising the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfil a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims;
- To request the limitation of the processing of your personal data as far as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you reject its deletion and we no longer need the data, but you require it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, or you have lodged an objection against the processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR; and
- To obtain your personal information that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request its transmission to another data controller.

In the latter case, you have a general right of objection, which will be implemented by us without the need for you to specify a particular situation.
