We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. B. in communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.

 
Storage period
Insofar as no more special storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you make 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 deletion takes place after the expiration of these reasons.
Information on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Our website includes, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not safe under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that in these countries no level of data protection comparable to the EU can be guaranteed. For example, U.S. companies are required to disclose personal data to security agencies without you, as a data subject, being able to take legal action against it. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. Intelligence agencies) Process, evaluate and permanently store your data on U.S. servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED IN ORDER TO OPERATE DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.
