4.1. Right of Access
The Data Subject has the right to request information from the Data Controller via the contact details provided, on whether their personal data is being processed. If such processing is ongoing, the Data Subject is entitled to know:
-
What personal data of theirs is processed;
-
On what legal basis;
-
For what purpose;
-
For how long;
and also:
-
To whom, when, based on which legal regulation, the Data Controller has granted access to or transferred their personal data;

-
Whether the Data Controller uses automated decision-making, including profiling, and the logic involved.
Upon the Data Subject’s first request, the Data Controller shall provide a copy of the personal data processed free of charge; any subsequent copies may be subject to a reasonable fee based on administrative costs.
To ensure data security and protect the rights of the Data Subject, the Data Controller is obliged to verify the identity of the Data Subject or the person exercising the access right on their behalf. Therefore, information provision, data access, and issuance of copies are conditional on identifying the Data Subject.

If they are, the Data Controller shall delete the personal data without undue delay upon the Data Subject’s request. Please note that in the case of data processing described in Sections 3.2 to 3.5, data retention is prescribed by law, and deletion is only possible after the legally prescribed retention period has expired.
4.4. Right to Restrict Processing
The Data Subject may request that the Data Controller restrict the processing of their personal data (by clearly marking the restricted nature of the processing and ensuring separate processing from other data) if:
-
They dispute the accuracy of the personal data (in which case the restriction lasts until the accuracy is verified);
-
The processing is unlawful, and the Data Subject opposes deletion and instead requests restriction of use;
-
The Data Controller no longer needs the personal data for processing purposes, but the Data Subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
-
The Data Subject has objected to processing (in which case the restriction applies until it is determined whether the Data Controller’s legitimate grounds override those of the Data Subject).
4.5. Right to Object
Regarding data processing for purposes set out in Sections 3.7 to 3.12, the Data Subject has the right to object. Upon objection, the Data Controller shall weigh whether there are compelling legitimate grounds which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the Data Subject or relate to the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Regarding data processing for the purposes described in Sections 3.1 and 3.6 — taking into account the legal basis — the Data Subject has the right to receive the personal data they have provided to the Data Controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, if the Data Controller processes the data in an automated manner.
4.7. Procedural Rules Applicable to the Data Controller Regarding the Exercise of Data Subject Rights
Please submit requests to exercise your rights via the contact details specified in Section I.
The Data Controller shall inform the Data Subject without undue delay, but at the latest within one month of receipt of the request, of the measures taken in response. This period may be extended by two months considering the complexity of the request and the number of requests, with notification to the Data Subject about the extension and reasons within one month of receipt. If the request was submitted electronically, the information shall be provided electronically, unless otherwise requested.
If the Data Controller does not take action in response to the Data Subject’s request, the Data Subject will be informed without delay, but at the latest within one month of receipt of the request, about the reasons for inaction and their right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority and to seek judicial remedy.
The Data Controller provides information and measures free of charge. However, if the request is clearly unfounded or excessive — particularly due to its repetitive nature — the Data Controller may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs or refuse to act on the request. The burden of proving the request’s unfounded or excessive nature lies with the Data Controller.
The Data Controller shall inform all recipients to whom the personal data has been disclosed of any rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
