4.1 Information
You can request information from us as to whether our personal data is being processed.

The restriction of processing may be requested for as long as it has not yet been deter
mined whether our legitimate grounds outweigh your reasons. Restriction of processing means that the personal data will only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest. Before we lift the restriction, we have a duty to inform you of this.
4.5 Data portability
You have a right to data portability if the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a) or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR) or on a contract to which you are a party and the processing is carried out by automated means. In this case, the right to data portability includes the following rights, provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons: You can request that we receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You have the right to transmit this data to another
controller without hindrance from us. To the extent technically feasible, you may request that we transmit your personal data directly to another controller.

This also applies to profiling based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter e) or letter f) GDPR. After exercising the right to object, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
