8. a) Your rights

You have various rights in connection with your stored data that you can exercise towards the Controller. In this context, it is important to note that if master data was provided by an external institution (e.g. a DFN university or the vhb), it can only be disclosed to and corrected or deleted by the institution in question. You have the following rights:

Right of disclosure (Article 15 GDPR):

You have the right to know what personal data is being processed. Please note that you will also find this information in your user profile.

Right of correction (Article 16 GDPR):

If the personal data we have stored is incorrect, you can correct it yourself (by changing your profile data accordingly) or ask the Controller to correct it for you. Provided the requested correction is legitimate and admissible, the Controller will comply with your request.

Right of deletion (Article 17 GDPR):

You are entitled to demand that we delete your personal data if it is demonstrably false or if the Controller cannot prove they need to process it for a specific purpose. We are not obliged to delete personal data if we need to store it in connection with legal requirements or business obligations (proof of instruction, proof of quality assurance, copyrighted rights, right of inspection). The obligation to delete personal data remains in place once you finish your degree / complete your course / terminate your employment relationship / withdraw your consent. You are not entitled to demand that we delete information that you have provided in cases where it is linked inextricably to content from another user (e.g. posts in a forum). A request for deletion may be classed as a withdrawal of consent. In such cases, you may no longer be able to access the portal application or participate in a course. As a result, we may not be able to issue you with a performance report or certificate.

Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR):

In the event of a legitimate request to restrict processing, the Controller shall ensure that personal data can only be accessed by persons who have to process the data.

Such objection takes effect for future usage only. Exercising your right to object does not automatically obligate the Controller to delete your personal data. If the Controller is legally required to store data, such legal requirements shall override your objection. Exercising your right to object may result in you no longer being able to access the portal application or participate on a course. As a result, we may not be able to issue you with a performance report or certificate.

Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR):

Subject to legal requirements, you are entitled to request that data you have entered is supplied back to you in a format you can use on other sites. This right is restricted to data that is not subject to intellectual property rights (trade secrets) that prevent it from being transmitted, and to data that does not violate the personal rights or copyrights of a third party.

Right to withdraw consent (Article 7, Paragraph 3 of the GDPR):

You retain the right to withdraw your consent for future processing of your personal data. Any processing prior to your withdrawal of consent remains hereby unaffected. Withdrawing your consent may result in you no longer being able to access the portal application or participate on a course. As a result, we may not be able to issue you with a performance report or certificate.In the event of a violation against legal requirements respecting the protection of your personal data, you are free to contact the relevant supervisory body.
