Your Rights Regarding Data Processing

If your data processing is based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you can object at any time due to your specific situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
We won't process your data unless we have compelling reasons that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing is necessary for legal claims.
If your data is processed for direct marketing, you can object at any time. Your data won't be used for direct marketing after your objection.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
If there's a GDPR violation, you can complain to the supervisory authority in your habitual residence, workplace, or where the alleged violation occurred. This right doesn't affect other remedies.
Right to Data Portability

You can request restriction of processing in the following cases:

If the processing was/is unlawful, and you prefer restriction instead of deletion.
Your Rights Regarding Data Processing Continued
Right to Restriction of Processing
If we don't need your personal data anymore but you require it for legal claims, you can request processing restriction instead of deletion. If you've objected (Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR),
we'll balance your interests and ours. Until determined, you can request processing restriction.
While processing is restricted, your data, aside from storage, can only be processed with your consent, for legal claims, or for important public interests.
