9. Rights of the Data Subject
Under applicable data protection law (GDPR and DSGVO), you have certain rights as a data subject with respect to the processing of your personal data by the data controller. These rights include:
If we process your personal data based on our legitimate interests, you have the right to object to this processing at any time for reasons related to your particular situation.
If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing your data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing your data for direct marketing purposes.
10. Duration of Storage of Personal Data
The duration of storage of personal data is an important consideration when processing personal data. In determining the duration of storage, we take into account several factors, including the legal basis of the processing, the purpose of processing, and any relevant legal retention periods.
If personal data is processed based on an explicit consent as per Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the data will be stored until the data subject revokes their consent.
For data processed within the scope of legal or similar obligations as per Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, the data will be routinely deleted after expiry of the storage periods if it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of the contract and/or if we no longer have a justified interest in further storage.
When processing personal data based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data will be stored until the data subject exercises their right to object under Article 21(1) GDPR. However, we may still retain the data if we can provide compelling grounds for processing that are worthy of protection and outweigh the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject or if the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing as per Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data will be stored until the data subject exercises their right to object under Article 21(2) GDPR.
In cases where specific processing situations are not covered by the information contained in this declaration, stored personal data will be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
As a responsible data controller, we take our obligations under GDPR seriously and will always ensure that personal data is processed in accordance with the regulation, including the duration of storage.
10. Do Not Track Policy
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that you can set in your browser. DNT is a way for you to inform websites and services that you do not want certain information about your webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information we collect and that is why we provide you the ability to opt out.

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which overrides your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Germany, your personal data may be processed outside of the EEA or Germany, so processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA or Germany.
Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA or Germany, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that the recipient third party agrees to contractual clauses.

9. Rights of the Data Subject
Under applicable data protection law (GDPR and DSGVO), you have certain rights as a data subject with respect to the processing of your personal data by the data controller. These rights include:
- Right of access (Article 15 GDPR): You have the right to obtain information about the personal data that we process about you, including the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, and the existence of certain rights such as the right to rectification or erasure of personal data, the right to restrict processing, the right to object to processing, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You also have the right to know where the personal data originated if it was not collected directly from you and whether any automated decision-making or profiling is taking place. Finally, you have the right to know the appropriate safeguards being used when personal data is transferred to a third country.
- Right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR): You have the right to have inaccurate personal data corrected without undue delay or to have incomplete personal data completed, including by providing a supplementary statement.
- Right to erasure (Article 17 GDPR): You have the right to have your personal data erased if certain conditions are met, such as if the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, if you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for processing, or if the data was unlawfully processed. However, this right is not absolute and may be limited in certain circumstances, such as for exercising the freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
- Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR): You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data if certain conditions are met, such as if you contest the accuracy of the personal data, if the processing is unlawful and you oppose erasure, or if the data is no longer needed for the purposes of the processing but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
- Right to be informed (Article 19 GDPR): If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, the controller is obliged to communicate any such rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing to any recipient to whom the personal data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to know the recipients of your personal data.
- Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR): You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller where technically feasible.
- Right to withdraw consent (Article 7(3) GDPR): If the processing of your personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. If you withdraw your consent, the data concerned must be immediately erased, unless further processing can be based on another legal basis.
- Right to lodge a complaint (Article 77 GDPR): Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR.
If we process your personal data based on our legitimate interests, you have the right to object to this processing at any time for reasons related to your particular situation.
If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing your data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for such purposes at any time. You can exercise this right as described above.
If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing your data for direct marketing purposes.
10. Duration of Storage of Personal Data
The duration of storage of personal data is an important consideration when processing personal data. In determining the duration of storage, we take into account several factors, including the legal basis of the processing, the purpose of processing, and any relevant legal retention periods.
If personal data is processed based on an explicit consent as per Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the data will be stored until the data subject revokes their consent.
For data processed within the scope of legal or similar obligations as per Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, the data will be routinely deleted after expiry of the storage periods if it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of the contract and/or if we no longer have a justified interest in further storage.
When processing personal data based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data will be stored until the data subject exercises their right to object under Article 21(1) GDPR. However, we may still retain the data if we can provide compelling grounds for processing that are worthy of protection and outweigh the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject or if the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing as per Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data will be stored until the data subject exercises their right to object under Article 21(2) GDPR.
In cases where specific processing situations are not covered by the information contained in this declaration, stored personal data will be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
As a responsible data controller, we take our obligations under GDPR seriously and will always ensure that personal data is processed in accordance with the regulation, including the duration of storage.
10. Do Not Track Policy
Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that you can set in your browser. DNT is a way for you to inform websites and services that you do not want certain information about your webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information we collect and that is why we provide you the ability to opt out. But we do not recognize or respond to any DNT signals as the Internet industry works toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.

- Request access to your personal data.
- Request correction of your personal data.
- Request erasure of your personal data.
- Object to processing of your personal data.
- Request restriction of processing your personal data.
- Request transfer of your personal data.

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully, or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which overrides your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
