Data protection rights and source opt-out
Natural persons may use this channel to exercise their data protection rights. Independently of this, source operators may submit technical, licensing or organisational blocking and removal requests.
1. Contact channels
Primary contact for data protection rights, objections and source-related requests: optout@ade.international
Functional contact for the Data Protection Officer: data@ade.international
2. Information normally sufficient
Please provide only the information needed to identify the matter. The following will normally be sufficient:
- the domain, URL, job reference or another traceable source reference concerned;
- the requested action, such as access, rectification, restriction, erasure, objection or a source block;
- a contact method if you would like a response outside the email channel used.
Please do not send a copy of an identity document or additional personal data unless we expressly request it, to the extent necessary, because there are reasonable doubts.
3. Data protection rights of natural persons
Subject to the statutory conditions, you may in particular request access, rectification, erasure or restriction of processing. An access request does not require special reasons. Where processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object under Article 21(1) GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation; please provide the circumstances required to assess that objection.
Additional identity information is requested only where there are reasonable doubts about identity. Exercising data protection rights is generally free of charge; the statutory exceptions for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests remain unaffected.
4. Voluntary source, licensing and blocking requests
Independently of a data protection right, a source operator may tell us that a source should not be processed, should be processed only in a restricted manner or should be subject to stated conditions. We assess in particular the relationship to the source, the request, applicable rights and licences, and technical blocking signals. Where the source can be reliably identified, it may be blocked as a precaution while the request is assessed.
A report does not automatically produce a particular legal outcome. We implement the rectification, restriction, erasure, block or suppression required by the applicable law and technical circumstances. A minimal blocking record may remain where necessary to prevent a confirmed block or effective objection from being undone by later rediscovery.
5. Response period
We handle data protection rights without undue delay and generally provide information on the action taken within one month of receipt. Where an extension of up to two further months is necessary because of the complexity or number of requests, we will notify you of the extension and the reasons within the first month.

Further details are available in the general privacy notice and, for public employer or job sources, the privacy notice for job sources.
