Should you request deletion or withdraw your consent, your data will be removed unless other legally valid reasons for retention exist (e.g., statutory tax or business law obligations). Deletion will then take place once these reasons cease to apply. <\/p>\n

If you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR resp. Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data according to Art. 9 Abs. 1 GDPR are processed.

Notice on the transfer of data to the USA and other third countries<\/h4>\n

Some of the tools we use are provided by companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not offer an adequate level of data protection. When these tools are in use, your personal data may be transferred and processed there. In these countries, the same level of data protection as in the EU cannot be guaranteed. For example, US companies may be obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities, and you may have no legal remedy. Consequently, US authorities (including intelligence agencies) could process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We do not have any influence over these activities. <\/p>\n

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing<\/h4>\n

Many data processing activities are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the revocation. <\/p>\n

Right to object to data processing in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)<\/h4>\n

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE SPECIFIC LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. 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 IF PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR). <\/p>\n

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, 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 TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS CONNECTED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. GDPR). <\/p>\n

Right to submit a complaint to the relevant supervisory authority<\/h4>\n

If your rights under the GDPR are violated, you have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, especially in the EU member state where you normally reside, work, or where the alleged violation occurred. This right is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies. <\/p>\n

Right to transfer personal data<\/h4>\n

Where we process data automatically based on your consent or for contract performance, you may request that this data be provided to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. Direct transfer to another controller is possible only to the extent that it is technically feasible. <\/p>\n

Access, Erasure, and Rectification<\/h4>\n

You have the right, at any time and in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as, where applicable, the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions on the subject of personal data. <\/p>\n
