Storage period

We generally 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 for your consent and you have given it, we will erase your personal data if you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

We will erase 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 the purposes of direct marketing or related profiling.

If erasure is not possible because processing is still necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (statutory retention periods, etc.) to which we are subject or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, we will restrict the processing of your personal data.

Further information on the storage period can also be found in the following passages.

Your rights

You have the following rights with regard to your personal data:

- Right of access

- Right to rectification

- Right to erasure

- Right to restriction of processing

- Right to object to the processing

- Right to data portability

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including 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 defense of legal claims.

If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with 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 shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by us.

Provision of your personal data

The provision of your personal data is not required by law or contract and is not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are generally not obliged to provide your personal data. Should this nevertheless be the case, we will point this out to you separately when collecting your personal data (e.g. by marking the mandatory fields on input forms).

Failure to provide your personal data regularly means that we will not process your personal data for one of the purposes described below and you will not be able to take advantage of an offer associated with the respective processing (example: you will not receive our newsletter without providing your e-mail address).
