If the processing has been restricted pursuant to the above conditions, you shall be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.

In exercising this right, you have further the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. Rights and freedoms of others shall not be adversely affected hereby.
The right to data portability shall not apply to a processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

With respect to the case under (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which includes at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express the own point of view and to contest the decision
