If you submit a legitimate request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these grounds no longer apply.
General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR are processed.

If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is also based on Section 25 Paragraph 1 of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG). You can withdraw your consent at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract, we process your data based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b of the GDPR.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not offer adequate data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. Please note that a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, having any legal recourse. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. If the processing of your personal data is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you, including profiling based on those provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based
