data subject rights

If your personal data is processed, you are the "person concerned" and you have the following rights vis-à-vis us as the person responsible:


1 Right to information

​

Visitors have the right to receive confirmation from us free of charge as to whether we are processing their personal data. If this is the case, then the visitor has a right to information about this personal data and to further information, which the visitor can find in Art. 15 GDPR. Visitors can contact us by post or email for this purpose.

 

2 Right to Rectification

​

Visitors have the right to demand that we correct inaccurate personal data concerning visitors without undue delay. Likewise, visitors have the right - taking into account the above-mentioned purposes of processing - to request the completion of incomplete personal data - also by means of a supplementary declaration. Visitors can contact us by post or email for this purpose.

 

3 Right to Erasure

​

Visitors have the right to request the immediate deletion of personal data concerning them if one of the requirements of Art. 17 GDPR is met. Visitors can contact us by post or email for this purpose.

 

4 Right to restriction of processing

​

Visitors have the right to demand that we restrict processing if one of the requirements of Art. 18 GDPR is met. Visitors can contact us by post or email for this purpose.

 

5 Right to Information

​

If the visitor has asserted the right to correction, deletion or restriction of processing against the person responsible, the latter is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the relevant personal data has been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves to be impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
The visitor has the right to be informed about these recipients vis-à-vis the person responsible.

 

6 Right to Data Portability

​

Visitors have the right to receive the personal data concerning them that they have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and visitors have the right to transmit this data to another person responsible without hindrance from us if the requirements of Art. 20 GDPR are available. Visitors can contact us by post or email for this purpose.


7 Right to object to processing based on our legitimate interest

​

Insofar as we exceptionally process personal data on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR (i.e. due to legitimate interests), visitors have the right at any time, for reasons arising from their particular situation, against the processing of personal data concerning them to lodge an objection with us. If we cannot prove any compelling legitimate reasons for further processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or if we process the relevant data from you for the purpose of direct advertising, we will then no longer process your data (cf. Art 21 GDPR). Visitors can contact us by post or email for this purpose. A technical procedure that visitors use, e.g. clear technical information that your web browser transmits to us (“Do Not Track” message) is also considered a contradiction in this sense.


8 Right of withdrawal if consent has been given

​

Visitors have the right to revoke their consent to the collection and use of personal data at any time with effect for the future. Visitors can contact us by post or email for this purpose. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.


9 Automated decision making including profiling

​

Visitors have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning the visitor or similarly significantly affects him. Unless the decision is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the visitor and us, it is permitted by Union or Member State law to which we are subject and such law contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms, as well as your legitimate interests or the decision is made with your express consent.

​

10 Voluntary provision of the data

​

If the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, we always point this out when collecting the data. In some cases, the data we collect is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, namely if we cannot otherwise fulfill our contractual obligation to you, or not sufficiently. There is no obligation for visitors to provide personal data. However, failure to provide it can mean that we cannot perform or offer a service, action, measure or similar that you have requested, or that it is not possible to conclude a contract with you.

If visitors wish to exercise any of the rights described above, visitors are welcome to contact us:


email address: contact@millerntorgallery.org

 

11 Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

​

Without prejudice to other rights, visitors have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority for data protection at any time, in particular in the member state of their place of residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if the visitors are of the opinion that the processing of the personal data concerning the visitors violates data protection law.
