Your rights regarding your personal data

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is effective since May 2018 in Germany, stipulates that when using your personal data, you have certain rights at any times:

In accordance with Article 12 of the GDPR, to exercise your rights, you must contact the entity responsible for processing your personal data in writing, electronically or orally. A copy of your identity card is also required and will not be valid orally.

As from the date of receipt of your request, the controller of your personal data must inform you of the measures relating to your case within a maximum period of one month. It should be noted that in some cases where the request is more complex, the response time can be extented to three months. If the latter situation arises, you should be informed and the data controller should contact you to explain the reasons for the extension.

If the entity in charge of processing your personal data does not accept your request, it must inform you of the reasons for its refusal within a period of one month from the date of receipt of your request.

You then have the possibility to file a judicial appeal by filing a complaint with the Data Protection Authority (DPA).
