Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your already given consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy.
If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

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

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually 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 was/is unlawful, you may 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 restriction of processing instead of deletion.
-
If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. 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, such data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of 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.
