The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) DPA and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

the processing is carried out using automated procedures.

When exercising the right to transfer data in accordance with paragraph 1, you have the right to obtain that personal data be transferred directly from one controller to another controller to the extent technically feasible.

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your specific situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of scientific or historical research or for statistical purposes, as referred to in Article 89(1), except where such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

(9) Automated case-by-case decisions including Profiling
