Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data, including profiling based on those provisions. The relevant legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy.
If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or if the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection according to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

-
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
-
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defense, or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
-
If you have filed an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
