Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your stored personal data, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the assertion, defense, or exercise of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
