To delete your personal data: Please note that data which we require for the performance and processing of contracts and for the assertion, exercise, and defense of legal claims, as well as data for which there are statutory, regulatory, or contractual retention obligations, are excluded from deletion, Art. 17 GDPR.

Restriction of processing:
Under certain circumstances, you may request that processing be restricted, e.g., if you believe that your data is inaccurate, if the processing is unlawful, or if you have objected to the data processing. This means that your data may only be processed to a very limited extent without your consent, e.g., to assert, exercise, and defend legal claims or to protect the rights of other natural and legal persons, Art. 18 GDPR.

Objection to data processing:
You have the option to object to data processing for direct marketing purposes at any time. In addition, if there are special reasons, you can object at any time to data processing that is based on a legitimate interest, Art. 21 GDPR.

Data portability:
You have the right to receive the data you have provided to us and which we process on the basis of your consent or for the performance of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format and, within the limits of what is technically feasible, to request the direct transfer of this data to third parties, Art. 20 GDPR.
