When do we delete your data?

We will delete your data if we no longer need it or if you tell us to do so. This means that – unless otherwise stated in the individual data protection notices of this data protection declaration – we will delete your data if the purpose of the data processing has ceased to exist and the respective legal basis mentioned in the individual data protection no longer exists, if you exercise your right of revocation and no other legal basis for processing within the meaning of Art. 6para. 1bed. b-f DSGVO intervenes if you exercise your right to object and if there are no compelling reasons worthy of protection against deletion.

If the rights of another natural or legal person are used, we will delete (the part) your data only after the expiry of these periods. Until the expiry of these periods, however, we limit the processing of this data to these purposes (fulfilment of retention obligations).
