Personal data will be erased or made unavailable as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage can also be carried out if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other rules to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards lapses, unless continued storage of the data is necessary.
We have taken substantial technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data stored with us from unauthorised access and misuse. Our security processes are reviewed regularly and adapted to the state of the art. Our employees are obliged to maintain confidentially.
