(ADM) have joined forces with the Association of Social Science Institutes (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Sozialwissenschaftlicher Institute e. V.) (ASI), and the German Society for Online Research (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Online-Forschung e. V.) (DGOF) to issue guidelines that define our activities and which we consider to be mandatory for our work. They set out how the requirements of privacy and data protection should be translated into the practice of market and social research.
The professional standards include e.g. the ICC/ESOMAR “International Code on Market and Social Research” referred to in short as the ESOMAR code, and the ESOMAR guidelines issued by ESOMAR for various areas of market and social research. For details, please refer e.g. to:
The above-mentioned German institutes and professional associations have also issued a “Declaration for the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany concerning the ICC/ESOMAR International Code of Market and Social Research” which modifies some of the provisions of the ESOMAR Code.

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights in relation to the data controller:
You have the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed.
Where that is the case, you may request the following information from the data controller:

(6) the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this regard, you have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR relating to the transfer.
You have the right to have inaccurate and or incomplete personal data rectified and/or completed without undue delay.
You have the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing of personal data where one of the following applies:
(1) you contest the accuracy of the personal data for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
(2) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require the data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
(4) you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your interests.
Where processing of your personal data has been restricted, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with the user’s consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If the processing has been restricted under the above conditions, you shall be notified by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase this data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed
(2) You withdraw consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6 (1) (a), or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.

The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary
(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Article 9 (2) (h) and (i) as well as Article 9 (3) GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 (1) GDPR in so far as the right referred to in paragraph (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
(5) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If you have exercised your rights with respect to rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing, 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.
You are entitled to receive information about those recipients from the controller.
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where
(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6 (1) (a), or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. These rights shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
The controller shall no longer process your personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you will have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for such purposes.
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the data controller,
(2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
(3) is based on your explicit consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9 (1) GDPR, unless point (a) or (g) of Article 9 (2) applies and suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
In the cases referred to in points (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes GDPR.
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 GDPR.
