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

IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR UNLESS THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. This right exists in particular in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

If the processing of your personal data is or was unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.

If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

If processing has been restricted, such data may only be processed, apart from storage, with your consent, for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Newsletter Data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we require your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter.

You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time, for example via the unsubscribe link in the newsletter.

The legality of data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter mailing list after you unsubscribe or once the purpose no longer applies.

We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter mailing list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data in the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not combined with other data.
