Right to the restriction of processing

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

If the data subject has requested a restriction for the reasons given, then the data may still be stored and all other types of processing carried out for the following reasons:

• with the data subject’s consent,
• for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims,

• for reasons of important public interest of the Union or the Republic of Slovenia.

The data subject shall be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.

If we have declined your request to delete the data, or if you only want to restrict the processing of your personal data, you may request in writing that we restrict the processing of your personal data. You may exercise the right to erasure only in the limited cases listed above.

The controller shall communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom the personal data have been disclosed, unless:

• this proves impossible or
• involves disproportionate effort.

Right to data portability

The data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable and interoperable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where:

• the processing is based on consent or on a contract and
• the processing is carried out with automated means.

• for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest,
• in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

 Right to object

The data subject shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, every data subject shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her infringes this Regulation.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78.

As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner. The Information Commissioner will inform you about the state of the matter and his or her decision on the complaint.

General legal protection of natural persons

Natural persons who believe that the controller or processor from the public or private sector infringes their rights provided for in the General Regulation or Acts regulating the processing or protection of personal data, may seek judicial protection of their rights throughout the duration of the infringement without prior exercise of rights under other provisions of ZVOP-2 or the application of other legal remedies. Natural persons may request the termination of the infringement through judicial protection, establishment of legal standing and compensation for damage, however, if the infringement has ceased, the finding that the infringement existed.

In this procedure, the administrative court decides according to the procedure provided by the law regulating administrative disputes regarding actions for infringement of human rights and fundamental freedoms and the natural persons may also include claims for damages in this action.
