When do we delete your data?

We delete your data when we no longer need it or when you tell us to do so. This means that - unless otherwise stated in the individual data protection notices in this privacy policy - we delete your data,

    • after termination of the contractual or membership relations existing between us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or
    • after loss of our legitimate interest in the further processing or storage of your data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR),
  • if you make use of your right of revocation and no other legal basis for the processing within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b-f GDPR intervenes,
  • if you make use of your right of objection and there are no compelling reasons worthy of protection against the deletion.

However, if we (certain parts of) your data have to keep your data for other purposes, for example, because tax retention periods (usually 6 years for business correspondence or 10 years for accounting records) or the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims arising from contractual relationships (up to four years) make this necessary, or if the data is used to protect the rights of another natural person or legal entity, we will not delete (that part of) your data until these periods have expired. Until the expiry of these periods, however, we will limit the processing of this data to these purposes (fulfilment of the storage obligations).
