-
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data, we generally need time to verify this. During this verification, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
-
If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
-
If we no longer need your personal data but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
-
If you have filed an objection under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests needs to be carried out. As long as it is not clear whose interests outweigh, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

5. Newsletter
Newsletter Data
If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. No further data will be collected, or only on a voluntary basis. This data will be used solely for sending the requested information and will not be shared with third parties.
The processing of the data entered into the newsletter subscription form is based solely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw the consent you have given for the storage of your data, email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing activities already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider, and will be deleted from the distribution list after unsubscribing or after the purpose is fulfilled. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion within the scope of our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Data stored for other purposes remains unaffected by this. After unsubscribing from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored on a blacklist with us or the newsletter service provider if necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will be used solely for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and ours in ensuring compliance with legal requirements for newsletter distribution (legitimate interest in the sense of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests.
