    1. Right to withdraw the declaration of consent given under data protection law in accordance with Article 7(3)

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out based on the consent prior to withdrawal.

 

Automated individual decision-making, including profiling (Article 22 GDPR)

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effects for you or similar significant adverse effects for you. This does not apply if the decision

  1. is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between you and the controller,
  2. is permissible under the law of the EU or the Member States to which the controller is subject, and this law contains adequate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
  3. is made with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data in accordance with Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and suitable steps to protect rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests have been taken.

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