What Are Your Rights?

A) Rights of Access

Based on the specific request of an individual, DANUBIANA has the following obligations: 

- to confirm whether it processes the personal data of the individual;

- to explain why and how it processes such personal data and to provide the individual with other details in connection to the processing of his/her personal data; and

- to provide the individual with a copy of such personal data.

B) Right to Erasure (also called the Right to Removal or the Right to Be Forgotten) and Rectification

Under certain conditions, individuals may request the erasure or removal of their personal data if, for example, they withdraw their consent to their processing (when processing is carried out based on the consent of the individual in question). Such individual also may request that we rectify or modify his/her personal data if they are inaccurate or incomplete.

If we disclose personal data to any third party (for example, an agent such as forwarding company) we must notify them of the erasure or restriction of the relevant personal data.

C) Right to Restrict Processing 

Individuals may request that we restrict the processing of their personal data in the course of addressing complaints (concerning, for example, inaccuracies in personal data). If processing is restricted, we may store personal data but not process them until the matter in question is resolved. Similarly, if we disclose personal data to any third party (e.g., an agent) we must notify it of the imposed restriction to the processing of such personal data, which shall apply until revocation. Upon revocation, the third party must be also notified of this fact.

D) Right to Object

Data subjects may object to the processing of their personal data due to reasons concerning their actual situation. DANUBIANA may subsequently process relevant personal data only in the event that we can demonstrate compelling and legitimate grounds for their processing (which are identified individually for each separate case).

However, individuals may object without stating any grounds if we process data for direct marketing purposes.

If a decision on the automated processing and profiling of personal data is adopted and if this decision most probably produces some legal effects or similarly significant effects regarding the individual in question, this individual has the right not to be subject (except for specific exceptions) to such decision which occurred exclusively based on the given justification.

E) Right to Portability

If the individual provides his/her personal data, he/she has the right (upon request):

- to obtain a copy of his/her personal data; and/or

- if technically feasible, to request that the personal data be forwarded to a third-party organization in a structured and commonly used and machine-readable form.

What is the Procedure for Making a Request?

A) Responses to Requests

Upon implementing any change, removal or restriction, DANUBIANA must communicate with the individual who submitted the request and all third parties to which it disclosed the personal data of the individual in question.

Information or communications provided to individuals upon their request must be:

- in a brief, clear and easily comprehensible and accessible format and in simple language;

- in writing (such as a letter or e-mail); and

- if a certain individual submits a request in electronic form (e.g., via e-mail), the response may also be provided in electronic form if possible and if the individual in question does not request a response in a different form.

B) Time Frame for Responding to a Request 

Upon accepting a legitimate request, we must send the response “without delay”; however not later than one month after receiving the request. This one-month term may be extended by an additional two months if necessary and due to the complexity and number of requests. However, the individual in question must be informed of such extension within a month of our receipt of the request along with the justification for the delay or extension.

C) Costs related to the Mailing of a Response to a

All information or communications concerning certain requests are free of charge. However, if the request of an individual is “obviously unjustified or inappropriate” (e.g., in the case of repeated requests) we may: (a) charge the individual an appropriate fee; or (b) reject the request.
