Recipients of personal data

this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties.
We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a
contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data
to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR

SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA;
THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL
BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT,
WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED, UNLESS
WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING

administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract
provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
You may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in
the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we will generally need
time to verify this. While the verification is ongoing, 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 erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise,
defend or establish legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data
instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of
your interests and ours must be carried out. Until it has been determined whose interests
prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may—apart from being stored—only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or
defence of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or
legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or
