Some of these servers are located in the USA. The transfer of data to the United States is carried out using the so-called standard contractual clauses referred to above. The data subject has the possibility to obtain a copy of this personal data.

The personal data of Data Subjects contacting GWW will be processed until the purpose of the processing ceases to exist or the Data Subject raises an effective objection (whichever comes first).

8. INFORMATION ON AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING INCLUDING PROFILING
Personal data will not be processed in a purely automated manner (including profiling) that is likely to produce legal effects on data subjects or similarly significantly affect them.

9. RIGHTS OF PERSONAL DATA SUBJECTS
To the extent and in the cases prescribed by law, in particular the RODO, data subjects (data subjects) have the following rights:

• The right to withdraw consent (Article 7 of the RODO) – if the processing of personal data is carried out on the basis of consent, this consent may be withdrawn by the data subject at any time (however, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out before the withdrawal of consent). Consent is entirely voluntary.
• Right of access and right to obtain a copy of the data (Article 15 RODO) – the data subject is entitled to obtain from the Joint Controllers information about the processing of his/her personal data – including the source of the personal data, the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data processed, the intended duration of the processing and the recipients to whom the data are disclosed – and to obtain a copy of his/her personal data that are processed by the Joint Controllers. The right to obtain a copy must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others (including those arising from copyright or trade secrets).
• Right to rectification (amendment) of personal data (Article 16 RODO) – the data subject has the right to request the Joint Controllers to rectify inaccurate or complete incomplete personal data concerning the data subject.
• Right to erasure of personal data (“right to be forgotten” of Art. 17 RODO) – the data subject has the right to request from the Joint Controllers the immediate erasure of his/her personal data where (i) the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed, (ii) he/she has withdrawn the consent on the basis of which the processing took place, and there will be no other legal basis for the Joint Administrators to process his/her personal data, (iii) he/she has objected under Art. 21(1) RODO to the processing and there will be no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing of his/her personal data, or he/she has objected under Art. 21(2) RODO against the processing of his or her personal data, (iv) his or her personal data has been unlawfully processed, (v) the erasure of his or her personal data is required in order to comply with a legal obligation to which the Joint Controller is subject, (vi) his or her personal data has been collected in connection with the offering of information society services as referred to in Article 8(1) RODO. The right to erasure is not an absolute right. This right does not apply to the extent that the processing is necessary, inter alia, to comply with a legal obligation requiring processing under the law to which the Joint Controller is subject or to establish, assert or defend claims.
• The right to restrict the processing of personal data (Art. 18 RODO) – the Data Subject has the right to request the Joint Controllers to restrict the processing of his/her personal data where (i) he/she disputes the accuracy of his/her personal data – for a period of time allowing the Joint Controller to verify the accuracy of the data; (ii) the processing is unlawful and the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data, requesting instead the restriction of the use of the personal data, (iii) the Joint Controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are needed by the data subject to establish, assert or defend a claim; (iv) the data subject has objected under Art. 21(1) against the processing – until it is determined whether the Joint Controllers’ legitimate grounds override the data subject’s grounds for objection. The exercise of this right means that the Joint Controllers may only process the requested personal data, with the exception of storage, with the data subject’s consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for important grounds of public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
• Right to data portability (Article 20 RODO) – The data subject has the right to receive, in a structured, commonly used machine-readable format, personal data concerning him or her which he or she has provided to the Joint Controllers, and has the right to send that personal data to another controller without hindrance from the Joint Controllers to whom the personal data has been provided, where (i) the processing is based on consent or on the basis of a contract; and (ii) the processing is carried out by automated means. In doing so, the Data Subject has the right to request that his or her personal data be sent by the Joint Controllers directly to another controller, insofar as this is technically possible. The exercise of the right to data portability, shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
• Right to object (Article 21 RODO) – the data subject has the right to object at any time – on grounds relating to his or her particular situation – to the processing of personal data concerning him or her based, inter alia, on the Joint Controllers’ legitimate interests, including profiling. The exercise of this right means that the Joint Controllers are no longer allowed to process this personal data unless they demonstrate the existence of valid legitimate grounds for the processing, overriding the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or grounds for establishing, asserting or defending claims. If the Joint Controllers process personal data for the purposes of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing, including profiling, to the extent that the processing is related to such direct marketing. The exercise of this right means that the Joint Controllers will not process personal data for such purposes.

The Joint Controllers will exercise the above rights in accordance with the provisions of the RODO and other relevant legislation. In order to exercise the data subjects’ rights or to obtain further information on their rights, please contact the Joint Controllers (contact details are indicated in section 3).
