  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can demand the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 DSGVO, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
