When using processors, we transfer personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint controllership agreement is concluded.

The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract transferred to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
