You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.

6. Newsletter

When the company’s newsletter is subscribed to, the data entered in the respective input form is transmitted to the responsible party for processing. Subscribing to our newsletter follows a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription after registration. This confirmation is necessary to prevent someone from signing up using a third party’s email address. When subscribing to the newsletter, the IP address of the user, as well as the date and time of registration, is stored. This is to prevent the misuse of services or the email address of the affected person. No data will be transferred to third parties, except when required by law. The data is used solely for the newsletter’s delivery. The newsletter can be canceled at any time by the person concerned. Likewise, the consent to the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time. Each newsletter contains a corresponding link for this purpose.

7. Data Storage Duration

The criteria for determining the storage duration of personal data are the respective legal retention periods. After the period has expired, we routinely delete the corresponding data unless it is still required for contract fulfillment or initiation.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or a legally prescribed storage period expires, personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted according to legal provisions.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Changes to this privacy policy may occur at any time. Please regularly consult this statement.
