Unless a more specific storage period is specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods).

As part of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties.

We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary within the framework of contract fulfillment, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data.

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose.

The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the review period, you have the right to request the restriction of 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 require it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may only be processed—with the exception of storage—with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
