– Right to Restriction of Processing under Art. 18 GDPR: You have the right to request the restriction of processing while the accuracy of your data is verified, if you oppose the erasure of your data due to unlawful processing and instead request restriction, if you need your data for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or if you object to processing based on your specific situation, until it is determined whether our legitimate grounds override your interests.

– Right to Notification under Art. 19 GDPR: If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, we are required to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or requires disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.

Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the respective statutory retention periods (e.g., commercial and tax law retention periods). After the expiration of the retention period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps, and/or we have no legitimate interest in continuing to store it.
