If it is technically possible and does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons, we will - at your request - transfer your data to another recipient (responsible party).
If we collect or have collected and process personal data from you (on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 e or f or Art. 9 para. 2 a GDPR ), you have the right to object to the data processing (including profiling) at any time (with effect for the future).

If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to this processing at any time. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.

Exceptions to this requirement apply if the decision is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us or if you have expressly consented to the processing. In any case, we will take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on our part, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

We secure our website and other systems through technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons.

Once the purpose of storage no longer applies, the retention periods are generally at least six or ten years. Data is generally deleted immediately in accordance with our deletion concept, provided that this does not conflict with any retention obligation, necessity for contract fulfillment or a legitimate interest.
We only store your personal data for the period required to fulfill the specified purpose. Once the purpose no longer applies and any retention periods have expired, your data will be deleted immediately. If deletion is not possible, the data will be blocked instead.
