Data Protection Officer as per Art. 37 GDPR:

FMT is a limited liability company based on the Limited Liability Company Act and therefore a private-sector company, not an agency or public authority in the meaning of Art. 37(1) lit. a GDPR. Comprehensive processing of special category or personal data regarding criminal convictions and offenses or broad, regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects as per Art. 37(1) lit. b and c GDPR is not part of our core business. For this reason we are not obligated to nominate a Data Protection Officer. However, we established a point of contact for questions regarding data protection regulations under DataProtection@christof.com.

Under Art. 16 GDPR you can demand immediate correction of incorrect or completion of your personal data in our system;
Under Art 17 GDPR you can demand deletion of your personal data stored in our systems unless processing these data is necessary for exercising the right to free speech and information, for compliance with legal obligations, for reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims;
Under Art. 18 GDPR you can demand limitations to processing your personal data if you dispute the veracity of the data, the act of processing is unlawful but you reject deletion and we no longer need the data but you do for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or you filed an objection to processing under Art. 21 GDPR;
Under Art. 20 GDPR you can demand to receive your personal data you provided in a structured, common and machine-readable format or their transmission to another responsible entity;
Under Art. 7(3) GDPR you can rescind the consent you gave us at any time. If you do we are no longer allowed to continue data processing based on this consent in the future.
If you believe we processed your data in contravention of the law, as per Art. 77 GDPR you have the right to lodge a complaint with a regulatory body. Usually you can do so by contacting the regulatory body your local residence or place of employment or our Headquarters.
If your personal data are processed based on our legitimate interest, under Art. 21 GDPR you have the right to file an objection against processing your personal data if there are grounds to do so which stem from your particular situation or the objection is directed at direct mail. In the latter case you have a general right to object which we will implement without you providing information regarding a particular situation.

According to applicable statutory data protection requirements, based on Art. 5(1) lit. e GDPR we are obligated to delete personal data promptly once the purpose of processing is accomplished.
