If the data processing is carried out on the basis of point (e) or (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling which is based on these provisions.

If you submit an objection, we will no longer process your corresponding personal data unless we are able to demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If we process your personal data for the purposes of direct advertising, you have the right to submit an objection to the processing of your personal data for such advertising purposes; insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising, this also applies to profiling.

Right to data portability
You have the right for the data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or for the fulfilment of a contract to be provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request
the restriction of processing of your personal data. - If the processing of your personal data has taken place / is taking place on an
unlawful basis, you can request the restriction of the data processing instead of
its erasure. - If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it in order to exercise,
defend or enforce legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of
processing of your personal data instead of erasure. - If you have submitted an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of
your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been

of processing of your personal data.
