6. Deletion/Anonymization
After 24 months, the survey results are automatically anonymized. This means that all data that allows a personal reference is deleted from the respective data set. The anonymization of the test results gives us the possibility to create and analyze statistical evaluations over a certain period of time without being able to determine who gave which answers at the time of the online analysis.
The statistical evaluation is intended to help companies to recognize developments or to compare analysis results of the past with the results of the present and to derive decisions from them or to be able to better interpret the current analysis results.
We assure you that definitely no personal reference is possible. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
7. Affected rights
Since the introduction of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the resulting national implementation of the Federal Data Protection Act -new (BDSG-neu), you have extensive rights as a data subject.
The processing of personal data can affect people in many ways. These rights „affected rights“ are a core component of the GDPR. In order to be able to exercise these rights, it is necessary to know which data is stored and processed by whom about one’s own person. Therefore, Articles 13 and 14 GDPR provide for extensive transparency obligations for data processing authorities. This information must provide an understandable overview of data processing. Most of the time, they are included in the privacy policy. In addition, Article 15 GDPR grants a right of access, according to which each authority must provide information on which data is processed for a person upon request.
Those affected can contact the data processing company directly. If there are any problems, the persons concerned have the possibility to call in the supervisory authority. An overview of the supervisory authorities in Germany can be found under the item Supervisory Authorities.
These include:
Automated decision in individual cases (incl. profiling)
Affected parties may not be subject to a purely automated decision, including profiling, if it is legally relevant or significantly impaired. Affected parties must be able to challenge the decision, express their own point of view and obtain the intervention of a person.
For more information, see Article 22 GDPR.
Right to object
Affected parties also have the right to object to legitimate data processing which is in the public interest, in the exercise of official authority or on the basis of the legitimate interest of a body. Affected persons may object to direct marketing and related profiling at any time. This results in an immediate processing stop. This claim must be made known to the person concerned in an intelligible form at the latest at the time of the first communication.
For more information, see Article 21 GDPR.
Right to data portability
Affected parties have the right to transfer their own data from one responsible person to another. For this purpose, the responsible person must provide the user with a copy of the personal data concerned in a standard and machine-readable file format. Compared to the old legal situation under the Federal Data Protection Act, this claim represents an innovation.
For more information, see Article 20 GDPR.
Right to restrict processing
With the right to restrict processing, data subjects can, under certain conditions, have their personal data blocked by the responsible person. The responsible person must inform the person concerned of the rectification, deletion and restriction of processing.
For more information, see Article 18 GDPR.
Right to deletion
If there are certain reasons for deletion, the data subject is entitled to the deletion of the personal data. This is the case, in particular, where they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were originally collected or processed. If these have been made public, he is entitled to a „right to be forgotten“.
Further information can be found in Article 17 GDPR
Right to correction
If incorrect data is processed about a person, their correction may be requested. Incomplete data must be completed taking into account the purpose of the processing.
Further information can be found in Article 16 GDPR
Right to withdraw consent
Data subjects have the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of their data. These information must be provided before giving consent. Here we always recommend the written way, so that in the event of a dispute it can be proven that the person concerned has given his/her consent. The revocation must be as simple as giving consent. If the data are collected from the data subject, the responsible person must, at the time of data collection, inform the data subject, among many other information obligations, about the right to withdraw consent, in accordance with Article 13 II c GDPR.
For more information, see Article 7 GDPR.
Right to information
Article 15 GDPR grants you a right of information, according to which each body must provide information on which data is processed for a person upon request.
For this purpose, please contact the person responsible within the meaning of the EU GDPR Art 4(7)
