What does VERTRICAL do to protect the rights of those affected?

Of course, VERTRICAL safeguards the legally guaranteed rights of those affected. If VERTRICAL is responsible for data processing, VERTRICAL will be happy to inform those affected in writing on request whether and which personal data is stored about them. VERTRICAL will be happy to correct personal data. Under certain conditions, it is also possible to block or delete the stored personal data, provided that there are no statutory retention periods to the contrary. This must then be checked in each individual case.

In the case of order processing, the data protection responsibility lies with the client, so it can happen that VERTRICAL refers to the client to answer inquiries, as VERTRICAL is not allowed to answer these questions.

Right of withdrawal (Art. 13. Para. 2 c GDPR)

If you have consented to the processing of your data, you have the right to revoke this at any time for the future. This does not affect the legality of the processing up to the point of revocation. Please contact the responsible office using the contact details provided.
