In addition to the exceptions mentioned in Article 17 (3) GDPR, the right to erasure does not apply if erasure is not possible or only possible with disproportionate effort due to the special type of storage.

These rights can be restricted in accordance with Article 23 GDPR. Federal and state legislators have made use of the option to restrict the rights of the data subject. If you wish to make use of the above-mentioned rights, the City of Bonn will check whether the legal requirements for this are met in each individual case.

To exercise your rights, you can contact an employee of the controller directly.
