The personal data of data subjects is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage is omitted. A storage after discontinuation of the storage purpose can take place, if this is provided for by law.

4. Right to Cancellation

7. Right of Objection

You have the right at any time, for reasons that arise from your particular situation, to object the processing of your personal data based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

We will then no longer process your personal information, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the purpose of enforcing, pursuing or defending legal claims.

(2) is permitted under Union or Member State legislation to which we are subject, and where such legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests; or

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data according to Article 9 (1) GDPR, unless Article 9 (2) (a) or (g) GDPR applies and reasonable measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), we shall take reasonable steps to uphold the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the person responsible, to express one’s own point of view, and contest the decision.
