There are many ways in which a body can justify the processing of your personal data. One of these is your consent to the processing. Your consent must, of course, be voluntary.

Irrespective of this, you can withdraw your consent. However, all processing of your data up to the point at which you withdraw your consent remains lawful.

Personal data includes, for example

• Online data, such as IP address, location data, e-mail address
• Bank data, such as account balances, account numbers
• Identification numbers, such as identity card number or social security number
• Land register entries
• Health information, such as genetic data, medical data
• certificates
• General personal data, such as name, address, age, marital status
• Physical characteristics, such as gender, skin, hair or eye color, height

The body processing your data must inform you separately of this right to withdraw your consent. You can assert this right against public and non-public bodies. Public bodies are, for example, public authorities; non-public bodies are, for example, commercial enterprises, associations or clubs.

You must revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data directly with the relevant public or non-public body.

If you wish to submit a written request by post or require general information, please contact the relevant authority with your questions.

The contact details of the relevant authority can be found in the list of authorities on the "service.bund.de - Service Online" portal.
