You withdraw your consent on which the processing of your data was based. You have asserted a right of objection to processing. Your data was unlawfully processed. The right of erasure does not apply, however, if such deletion is opposed by the legitimate interest of the controller. For instance, this may include: Personal data that is required for the assertion, exercising or defence of legal claims. Deletion is not possible due to retention obligations. Insofar as data cannot be deleted, you may exercise a right to the restriction of processing (as follows). Right to the restriction of processing You have the right to request us to restrict the processing of your personal data, if: You dispute the correctness of the data and we must therefore review the correctness.

Right of withdrawal The data subject has the right at any time to submit an objection to the processing of their personal data, which takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) e) or f), for reasons arising from their particular situation; this also apples to profiling based on one of these conditions. Insofar as the processing of your personal data is based on a consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. VII. Statutory deadlines for the erasure of data Insofar as no statutory retention obligation applies, the data shall be deleted or destroyed once it is no longer required for fulfilling the purpose of data processing.
