Purposes of Data Processing by the Controller and Third Parties

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned. We only share your data with third parties if:

• you have given your express consent,
• the processing is required to execute a contract with you,
• the processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, or

Deletion or Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data minimization. We therefore store your personal data only as long as necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned here or as required by the various statutory retention periods. After the respective purpose no longer applies or these periods have expired, the corresponding data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
