If the requirements of Art. 20(1) GDPR are met, you have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to third parties. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of log files are essential for the operation of the website.

The requirements of Art. 20(1) GDPR are therefore not met in this respect.
II. Right to object pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The controller will then no longer process the personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of log files are essential for the operation of the website.
