  1. Legal basis of data processing

Art. 31 para. 1 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR serve our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, the processing is based on Art. 31 para. 2 lit. a FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

 

If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 31 para. 1 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c EU GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, e.g. in the event of accidents on the business premises.

In addition, processing operations may be based on Art. 31 para. 1 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. The legitimate interest includes, in particular, the efficient, customer-friendly and high-quality provision of services.

  1. Rights of the data subject

Data subjects are entitled to the following rights under the FADP and the EU GDPR. If you, as a data subject, wish to exercise one or more of these rights, you can contact our data protection team at any time using the following link:

If this is the case, you also have the right to obtain information about the appropriate data protection clauses in connection with the transfer.

You also have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration, taking into account the purposes of the processing.

Right to erasure ("Right to be forgotten")

As a data subject affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right to demand that the personal data concerning you be deleted immediately if one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary (i.e. the data is no longer required).
  • The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 31 para. 1 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 lit a EU GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit a EU GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  • The data subject objects to the processing in accordance with Art. 32 FADP or Art. 21 para. 1 EU GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 para. 2 EU GDPR.

  • The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

If the personal data has been made public by Jakob Müller and if our company as the controller is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Art. 6 FADP or Art. 17 EU-GDPR, we shall take reasonable steps, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the personal data have been made public, in particular to erase any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, unless the processing is necessary.

Right to restriction of processing

As a data subject of the processing of personal data, you have the right to request the restriction of processing if one of the following conditions is met:

  • The correctness of the personal data is contested by you for a period of time that enables the controller to verify the correctness of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful, you object to the erasure of personal data and instead demand that the use of personal data be restricted.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, you however need them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • You have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 32 GDPR or Art. 21 EU-GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override yours.

Right to data portability

As a data subject of the processing of personal data, you have the right to receive the personal data relating to you which you provided to us in a structured, common and machine readable format.

You also have the right to have this data transmitted to another controller without hindrance from the controller, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a EU GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 31 para. 2 lit. a FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR lit a EU-GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 31 para. 2 lit a FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit b EU-GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means or if the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, when exercising your right to data portability pursuant to Art. 28 para. 2 FADP or Art. 20 EU GDPR, you have the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly by us to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.

Right to object

As a data subject of the processing of personal data, you have the right, at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning you which takes place in order to safeguard a legitimate interest of the controller.

This also applies to profiling based on these provisions, whereby Jakob Müller points out that no profiling is carried out.

Jakob Müller shall no longer process personal data in the case of an objection unless we can prove compelling security reasons for such processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Jakob Müller processes personal data to carry out direct advertising, therefore the data subject has the right at any time to object to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such direct advertising. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object to Jakob Müller about the processing for direct marketing purposes, we shall no longer process your personal data for such purposes.

Automated individual decision making including profiling

As a data subject of the processing of personal data, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, insofar as the decision

  • is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller or
  • is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject, and where such legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
  • is performed with your express consent.

With regard to the processing of personal data, Jakob Müller does not use purely automated decision making systems which have a legal effect on you or significantly affect you in a similar manner.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

As the data subject of the processing of personal data you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular, in the Member State of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is contrary to data protection laws.
