Unless a specific storage period has been specified in this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your 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 law retention periods); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons have ceased to exist.

If you have consented to the data processing, we will process your personal data based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR or Article 9 Paragraph 2 Letter a GDPR, if special data categories are processed according to Article 9 Paragraph 1 GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Article 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

For example, US companies are obliged to release personal data to security authorities without you as the person concerned being able to take legal action against this.
