If the processing of your personal data has been or is being carried out unlawfully, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.<\/p>\n

If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted rather than erased.<\/p>\n

If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours 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.<\/p>\n

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data \u2013 apart from its storage \u2013 may only be processed with your consent, or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.<\/p>\n
