Withdrawal and Data Subject Rights
If you have agreed to the broad consent of the Central Biobank as part of the routine examination at the UKM, you can revoke it using the form below or assert your rights as a data subject.
Withdrawal:
Your consent is entirely voluntary. You can withdraw your consent in whole or in part to the further collection and scientific use of your patient data and biosamples at any time without giving reasons and without any reprisal. Your withdrawal of consent always only applies to the future use of your patient data and biosamples. Data from analyses already performed cannot be subsequently removed. In case of withdrawal, the biosamples provided by you for research will be destroyed and your patient data stored on the basis of your consent will be deleted or anonymised, where this is legally permissible. If deletion is not possible or only possible with unreasonable technical effort, your patient data will be anonymised by deleting the identification code assigned to you. However, anonymisation of your patient data cannot entirely exclude the possibility of subsequent tracing of information, in particular genetic information, to you via other sources. You can also withdraw individual parts of the consent declaration, for example, if you wish to continue to make the patient data available for research, but have no interest in renewed contact for the purposes of subsequent collection of further data or participation in other studies.
Data Subject Rights:
You have the right to receive information about the patient data concerning you (upon request including a free copy) and, if necessary, to request its correction or deletion or restriction of processing. You also have the right to receive the data you have provided in a standardized electronic format or to have it transmitted to a person specified by you (right to data portability).
If digital transmission is not possible for you, you can also send us your request by mail:
