3. Your Rights as a Data Subject

As a data subject, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), provided that the respective legal requirements are met:

• Information (Art. 15 GDPR): You have the right to obtain information about the personal data processed about you.
• Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You can request the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you. You can also request the completion of incomplete data.
• Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): In certain cases, you can request the erasure of your personal data.
• Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR): In certain cases, you can request that the processing of your data be restricted.
• Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR): If you have provided data on the basis of a contract or consent and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, you may request that you receive the data you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or that it be transmitted to another controller.

Right to object on a case-by-case basis:

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(1)(e) GDPR (performance of tasks carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority) or Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR (balancing of interests); this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

 

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising:

Where we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.

Withdrawal of consent (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR):

If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can withdraw this at any time with effect for the future. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of your data until you withdraw your consent.

Assertion of your rights: To exercise all of your aforementioned rights, please contact datenschutz.vdm@vdm-metals.com or send a letter to the address given in section 1 above. Please ensure that we are able to clearly identify you.

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law, you can also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state or federal state of your habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged violation you are complaining about.

This also applies to the supervisory authority responsible for us:

4.2. Cookies and comparable technologies

We use our own instance of the web analysis service Matomo on our website, an open source software for the statistical analysis of visitor access and user movements. However, the IP address transmitted by you is anonymized before it is saved so that the data generated cannot be used to identify you personally. No cookies are used for Matomo, only a so-called fingerprint of the device you are using, which is stored anonymously and changed every 24 hours. This means that reach measurement and visitor action evaluation takes place, but without being able to clearly identify you.

In this way, a technically necessary cookie is set on your system, which signals to us that the data will no longer be stored. If you delete the cookie in the meantime, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

When using our job portal, technically necessary cookies are set, about which information is provided separately at https://vdm.homepagerecruiter.de/datenschutzerklaerung.
