What are your rights with regard to personal data?

The person concerned has certain rights with regard to his personal data insofar as these do not conflict with the legal obligations or the public interest tasks entrusted to CM-Zorgkas.

Right of access
As a data subject, you have the right to inspect the data relating to you that is processed by CM-Zorgkas. If you request this, a copy of your personal data can be provided.
You can request a copy of your personal data as long as this does not infringe the rights and freedoms of others.

Right to rectification or amendment of your data
You can request at any time to correct incorrect data or to complete your data.
To adjust your data regarding your marital status, please contact the population department of your municipality in the first place. However, CM-Zorgkas cannot change the data of the national register, which is the authentic source of social security.
Please remember to inform us as soon as possible of any change in your situation.

Withdraw your consent
If the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without providing a reason. Withdrawing your consent does not change the validity of the processing that took place before that withdrawal.

Automated individual decision-making (profiling)
You have the right not to be subject solely to automated decision-making, including profiling. After all, some data processing is completely automated without the intervention of the employee.
If you do not agree with the course of a fully automated process, you can contact CM-Zorgkas. For example, you can request intervention from a CM-Zorgkas employee or let us know why you dispute this.

Right to object
If you do not agree with the way CM-Zorgkas processes certain data, you can object to it.

  • If your data is processed in the context of a task carried out in the public interest, you must provide reasons related to your specific situation. However, CM-Zorgkas may still process this data if there are compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that take precedence over your interests or the exercise of a legal claim.
  • If your data is processed for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes, you can object on grounds relating to your particular situation, unless the processing is necessary to fulfill a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
You have the right to delete your personal data if it appears that CM-Zorgkas is processing this data unlawfully:

  • if the data is no longer necessary for the purposes of the treatment;
  • if you have withdrawn your consent and there is no other legal basis for this treatment;
  • if your objection to the processing is well-founded;
  • if the treatment is illegal;
  • if erasure is required by law;
  • if the data relates to a child under the age of 16 and is collected via an application or website (Information Society Service).

Right to restriction of processing
You can limit the use of your personal data:

  • until the time to check the accuracy of the data you dispute;
  • if you object to the illegal deletion of data processed by CM-Zorgkas;
  • if you object to the deletion of data that CM-Zorgkas no longer needs, but which are necessary to establish, exercise or defend a right in court;
  • until the time to check whether the legitimate reasons for CM-Zorgkas take precedence over yours in case you object to the treatment of this data by citing your specific situation.

CM-Zorgkas will then have to limit the processing of such personal data to their storage. Any other processing is permitted with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of a right in legal proceedings or to protect a third party, or for important reasons of public interest. If this is the case, CM-Zorgkas will inform you before this restrictive treatment is lifted.

Right to data portability
You have the right to have the personal data you have provided to CM-Zorgkas transferred directly to you or to a third party. This is possible insofar as it is not limited by privacy legislation or other legal rules. However, this right can only be exercised if your data has been processed solely on the basis of your consent or a contract, and if this processing is done using automated processes.
However, in the event of a change, CM-Zorgkas sends the information that it is legally obliged to forward to the new insurer.
