- Right to erasure („right to be forgotten“, Art. 17 DSGVO): You have the right to request that we erase your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
- Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 DSGVO): You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you object to its erasure and we no longer need the data, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 DSGVO.
- Right to data portability (Art. 21 DSGVO): You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request the transfer to another
