Unless a more specific storage duration is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate deletion request or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons cease to apply.
If you have given your consent to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR if special categories of data according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed.

When using processors, we only share our customers' personal data based on a valid contract for data processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.
