Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
You may contact us at any time to do so.
The right to restriction applies in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. During verification, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, you may request restriction instead of deletion.

  If processing has been restricted, such data may only be processed — apart from storage —
  with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims,
  or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person,
  or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
