Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we typically need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or establish legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance between your interests and ours must be struck. Until it is clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
