We only process personal data that is essential for the functionalities of our service. Personal data is any individual information that relates to a person or that is suitable to establish a relationship to a person, such as the first name, an e-mail address, an address and the like. Personal data may therefore allow conclusions to be drawn about the identity of a person.

3. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

Art. 6 Section 1 S.1 EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data. In connection with our processing of your data, you have the following rights:

(1) Right to information pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR about the processing of your personal data by us for processing purposes, categories of data processed, recipients or categories of recipients, duration of storage or criteria for determining the duration, right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection to processing, right of appeal to the supervisory authority, if applicable information about the origin of the data and the existence of automated decision-making and, if applicable, information about guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in the event of transmission to a third country or international organizations;

(2) Right to immediate rectification of incorrect or completion of incomplete personal data pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR;

(3) Right to erasure of stored personal data pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR if the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, if consent has been revoked and there is no other legal basis, if objection to processing has been filed and the data may no longer be processed pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 or 2 GDPR, if the data has been processed unlawfully, if the erasure is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation, or if the data has been collected in relation to services offered by an information society pursuant to Art. 8 Para. 1 GDPR. This does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, compliance with a legal obligation, reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. If you wish to request the deletion of your personal data, you can do so in the Unypan Mobile App.

(4) Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR if you dispute the accuracy of the data (namely for the duration required to verify the accuracy), if the processing is unlawful, but you refuse the erasure and instead request the restriction of use, if we no longer need the data for the purposes of processing, but you need the data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds outweigh your legitimate grounds;

(5) Right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR (if the data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising) or pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR (if the processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 e) or f) GDPR, for reasons arising from your particular situation, unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims). For more information on the right to object, please also refer to Section 23. below;

(6) Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, i.e. to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to transmit it to another controller;

(7) Right to revoke consent at any time pursuant to Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR. The revocation has the consequence that we may no longer carry out the data processing for the future from the time of the revocation. See also Section 24. below;

(8) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR. The supervisory authority responsible for us can be found under Section 4. above. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
