- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/has been unlawful, you may request restriction of the processing instead of erasure.
- If we do not require your personal data any longer but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
