Storage Period
As a general rule, we delete your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
If we have asked you for your consent and you have given it, we will delete your personal data if you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
We will delete your personal data if you object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or if you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes or profiling related to such direct marketing.
If deletion is not possible because processing is still necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (statutory retention periods, etc.) or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, we will restrict the processing of your personal data.
Further information on the storage period can also be found in the sections below.
Your Rights
You have the following rights with respect to your personal data:
-
Right of access
-
Right to rectification
-
Right to erasure
-
Right to restriction of processing
-
Right to object to processing
-
Right to data portability
You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on those provisions. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. We will then no longer process your personal data for these purposes.
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time if you have given us such consent. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority regarding our processing of your personal data.
Provision of Your Personal Data
As a general rule, the provision of your personal data is neither required by law nor by contract and is not necessary for entering into a contract. As a general rule, you are not obliged to provide your personal data. If this should nevertheless be the case, we will inform you separately when collecting your personal data (for example, by marking mandatory fields in input forms).
Failure to provide your personal data will generally mean that we cannot process your personal data for one of the purposes described below and that you will not be able to make use of an offer associated with the respective processing (example: Without providing your email address, you will not receive our newsletter).
