  • If the processing is unlawful and you object to the deletion of your personal data and, instead of deletion, you request that the use be restricted.
  • If we no longer need your data for the purposes of processing, but you need it to formulate, exercise or defend claims.

You can request that we immediately delete your personal data. We are obliged to delete this data immediately, when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes collected. In addition, you can ask us to delete your data when you change your mind about the consent, oppose its processing and there are no justified reasons for the processing, your data is processed incorrectly, your data has to be deleted in order to comply with a legal obligation, or your data is obtained in connection with a legal offer.
 

 

7.5. Right to information
If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure or restriction, we are obliged to inform all recipients to whom your personal data has been communicated about this rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

7.8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent to data protection
As a User you have the right to change your declaration of consent regarding data protection at any time. This change of decision regarding consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing that took place on the basis of the consent given prior to its revocation.
