In many cases, you are also entitled:

  • to rectify your personal data if the personal data that we have about you is incorrect or incomplete;
  • to remove or erase your personal data from our systems;
  • to block or stop further use of your personal data. If the processing is limited in this way, we may still store your personal data, but no longer use it; 
  • to data portability, which means that you can obtain your personal data from us under certain circumstances in a structured, standard and machine-readable format, so that you can reuse this personal data for your own purposes;
  • to object to certain kinds of processing of your personal data. If you lodge such an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate that there is a compelling legitimate reason for the processing; and 
  • to withdraw your permission, insofar as our processing of your personal data is specifically based on your consent.

 

Please note, however, that we may have to keep certain personal data, for example for legal purposes, e.g. in the context of transparency requirements.

You can obtain information about these rights or exercise them by sending an e-mail to the Fresenius Kabi Compliance Department, bene.compliance@fresenius.com.
