• Correction of inaccurate personal data,
• Deletion of your data stored with us,
• Restriction of data processing, if we are not yet permitted to delete your data due to legal obligations,

Purposes of Data Processing by the Responsible Party and Third Parties

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those stated. We only share your personal data with third parties if:

• You have given your explicit consent,
• Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you,
• Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, or
• Processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data.

Deletion or Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data minimization and data economy. We therefore store your personal data only for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes stated here, or as required by the various storage periods provided for by law. Once the respective purpose has ceased or these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

Anonymous information of this type may be statistically evaluated by us to optimize our website and the underlying technology.
