XI. NOTICES TO RESIDENTS OF CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS

Residents of the European Union and the United Kingdom.
If you are a resident of the European Union ("EU") or the United Kingdom ("UK"), you may have certain additional rights as set out below. For the purposes of this Notice, "personal data" has the meaning ascribed to it in the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

BASES AND CONSEQUENCES OF DATA PROCESSING

We base the processing of your personal data on the following legal bases:

To perform a contract we have entered into with you.
To comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject (such as tax obligations and where we are required to comply with lawful requests from competent authorities, such as law enforcement agencies).
For the purposes of our legitimate interests, provided that such processing does not outweigh your rights and freedoms.

Processing may also be carried out in accordance with other applicable legal bases for data processing, in particular rules established by the law of a Member State. If a legal basis as described above would not apply to our processing of your personal data, we will obtain your consent for the specific purpose in accordance with applicable law.

YOUR RIGHTS

Where a specific element of our processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with future effect. Such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of the processing prior to the withdrawal of consent. Section VI of the Privacy Policy describes the options we offer you to simply refuse or withdraw your consent.

If you object to the processing of your personal data, please contact us. Please contact us by email at datenschutzbeauftragter@mswberlin.de or by post at: datenschutzbeauftragter@mswberlin.de oder per Post an:

If you do not provide us with certain personal data, we may not be able to fulfil the requested purpose of obtaining information, such as answering your enquiries or providing you with our websites. However, unless otherwise stated, there will be no legal consequences for you if you do not provide your personal data.

Additional data protection rights: Below is information about additional rights you may have under applicable law.


Access	You may request confirmation from us as to whether or not we are processing your personal data. If so, you may request a copy of your personal data, which we will provide to you free of charge, together with information about said processing, such as the purpose of the processing and the categories of personal data concerned. However, this is not an absolute right and the interests of other individuals may limit your right of access. We may charge a reasonable fee for additional copies, based on administrative costs. We may refuse excessive requests, particularly repeated requests.
Correction	You may also ask us to amend, update or correct your personal information in certain circumstances, particularly if it is incorrect.
Delete	You may request the deletion of your personal data.
Restrict processing	You can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as if your personal data is incorrect or is being held unlawfully.
Data portability	You can request a copy of your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format and you may have the right to transfer that data to another entity.
Objection	You may object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances based on grounds relating to your individual case, for example for direct marketing. If you have a right to object and exercise it, your personal data will no longer be processed by us for such purposes unless there are compelling legal grounds for processing which take priority or if there are otherwise relevant requirements under applicable law.

Please note that these rights may be restricted under applicable law. Find out how you can exercise these rights here.

Please note that we may need to retain certain information for record-keeping purposes, or to carry out transactions that you initiated prior to your request, or for other purposes as required or permitted under applicable law.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER

Personal data may be transferred to and processed by recipients located within or outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). In the case of recipients outside the EEA, some are certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, while others are located in countries with adequacy decisions. In each case, the transfer thus takes place with an adequate level of data protection from the perspective of European data protection law. Other recipients may be located in countries that do not offer an adequate level of protection from the perspective of European data protection law. In such cases, we will make the transfer on the basis of appropriate safeguards, such as standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission or a supervisory authority. You can request a copy of such security measures.
