Retention period of personal data
The length of time for which we retain your personal data is determined by the relevant statutory retention periods (e.g. from commercial law and tax law). After expiry of the respective period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted. If data is required in order to fulfill a contract or to initiate an agreement or if we have a legitimate interest in further retaining your personal data, the data will be deleted if it is no longer required for these purposes or if you make use of your right of revocation or objection.
Your rights
Below you will find information on the rights which are afforded individuals by the applicable data protection law vis-à-vis the person responsible for processing your personal data:
The right to request information concerning your personal data processed by us pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR. You may, in particular, request information on the processing purposes, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been disclosed, the planned retention period, the existence of a right to rectification, deletion, limitation of processing or objection, the existence of a right to complain, the source of your personal data, unless obtained from us, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling and, where appropriate, meaningful information about the respective details.
The right to demand, without delay, correction of incorrect personal data or to complete personal data stored by us in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR.
The right to demand deletion of your personal data retained by us, according to Art. 17 GDPR, unless the processing thereof is required with regard to the right to exercise freedom of expression and information, for fulfillment of a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
The right to demand, pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, limitation of processing your personal data, as far as the accuracy of your personal data is disputed by you, the processing is illegal, but you refuse the deletion thereof and we no longer require the data, but you, however, need them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.

Right to revoke granted consent according to Art. 7(3) GDPR: You have, at any time, the right to revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data effective in the future. In case of revocation, we will delete the data concerned immediately, unless further processing is founded on a legal basis for processing without consent.

Right of objection
If your personal data is processed by us on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, insofar as this is for reasons that arise from your particular circumstances.
