Your right as a data subject

You have legal rights concerning the processing of your personal data. These include:

  1. Right to information
    Article 15 GDPR gives you the right to information about your personal data processed by the Bundesnetzagentur free of charge. In particular:
    - the purposes of the processing of your personal data,
    - the categories of personal data that are being processed,
    - the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed,
    - the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or the criteria used to determine that period,
    - the source of the data if we did not collect the data from you.
    The exceptions to this right laid down in section 34 BDSG apply.

  2. Right to rectification
    Article 16 GDPR gives you the right to have inaccurate personal data corrected without undue delay and, where appropriate, the right to have incomplete personal data completed.

  3. Right to erasure
    Article 17 GDPR gives you the right to have your personal data erased, provided the grounds laid down in Article 17(1) GDPR apply. However, according to paragraph 3 there is no such right when the processing of data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. In addition, the exceptions to this right laid down in section 35 BDSG apply.

  4. Right to restriction of processing
    Article 18 GDPR on the right to restriction of processing gives you the option to temporarily prevent the further processing of your personal data provided the grounds laid down in Article 18(1) apply; for example, for a period enabling your opposing rights to be verified.

  5. Right to data portability
    Article 20 GDPR gives you the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the Bundesnetzagentur, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, where the Bundesnetzagentur processes this data based on your consent and the processing is carried out by automated means. In accordance with Article 20(3) second sentence GDPR, this right does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

  6. Right to object
    Where the Bundesnetzagentur processes your personal data for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or for the purposes of legitimate interests (points (e) and (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR), you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to this processing (Article 21 GDPR). If you exercise your right to object, the Bundesnetzagentur will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. In accordance with section 36 BDSG, the right to object does not apply if there is an urgent public interest in the processing that outweighs the interests of the person concerned or if processing is required by law.

  7. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
    .Article 77 GDPR gives you the right, without prejudice to any other legal remedy, to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you is unlawful.
