When Do We Delete Your Data?
We delete your data when we no longer require it or when you instruct us to do so. This means that, unless otherwise specified in the individual privacy notices of this Privacy Policy, we delete your data:
- when the purpose of data processing no longer applies and the corresponding legal basis specified in the individual privacy notices no longer exists, e.g.:
- after termination of contractual or membership relationships existing between us (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR),
- after our legitimate interest in further processing or storage of your data ceases to apply (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR),
- if you exercise your right to withdraw consent and no other legal basis pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b–f) GDPR applies,
- if you exercise your right to object and no compelling legitimate grounds oppose the deletion.
However, if we still need to retain (parts of) your data for other purposes, for example due to statutory retention periods under tax law (generally 6 years for business correspondence and 10 years for accounting records) or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims arising from contractual relationships (up to four years), or if the data is required to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, we will only delete the relevant data after these periods have expired. Until the expiry of these periods, we will restrict processing of this data to these purposes only.

Third-Party Plugins Used by Us
We have integrated plugins in the form of “social media buttons” from providers used by us on our website. You can identify which plugin belongs to which provider by the respective logo with which the plugin is marked. When you access a page of our online presence on which such a plugin is implemented, a connection is automatically established between your browser and the provider’s servers, and a cookie is set on the device you are using by the provider. Data transmission may also occur even if you do not have an account with the respective social network provider or if you have an account but are not logged in at the time of visiting our website. In addition, further interactions with the respective social plugin (e.g., clicking the Facebook “Like” button or the Twitter “Retweet” button) result in data being transmitted to the provider.

In such cases, there is a risk that the level of data protection required by the GDPR may not be maintained and that the enforcement of your rights may be more difficult.
