Unless a specific storage period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legally permissible request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

If data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation, including profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy.

If your personal data is processed to conduct direct marketing, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing at any time. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data, which we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, delivered to you or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

– If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
– If the processing of your personal data is unlawful,

you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
– If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
– If you have filed an objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed up. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
