Your Rights as a Data Subject

You may exercise the following rights at any time:

  • The right to obtain information about your personal data stored by us and how it is processed
  • The right to rectification of inaccurate personal data
  • The right to erasure of your personal data stored by us
  • The right to restriction of processing where we are not yet permitted to delete your data due to legal obligations
  • The right to object to the processing of your personal data
  • The right to data portability, provided that you have consented to the processing of your data or have entered into a contract with us

If you have given us your consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent authority depends on the federal state of your place of residence, place of work or the location of the alleged infringement.

Purposes of Data Processing by the Controller and Third Parties

We process your personal data only for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those stated.

We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

  • you have expressly consented to this,
  • processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you,
  • processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, or
  • processing is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in your data not being disclosed.

Deletion or Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data minimisation and storage limitation. We therefore store your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes stated here or for the retention periods required by law.

Once the respective purpose no longer applies or these retention periods have expired, the relevant data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with statutory requirements.
