We do so for the performance of a contract with you, if it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or if it is necessary for our legitimate interests. The corresponding legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) or lit. f) GDPR.

We do so where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (to defend and enforce our legal rights). Accordingly, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
• Where it is necessary for compliance with applicable law we are subject to. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR then.

• legal and regulatory authorities to the extent required by applicable law;
• our professional advisors (e.g. lawyers, accountants) to the extent necessary for the provision of their services; and
• third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets, or parties whose business we wish to acquire.

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from accidental or unlawful loss, use, alteration or disclosure. We also maintain reasonable technical and physical safeguards to protect your personal data. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee against the loss or misuse of your personal data or secure data transmission over the Internet because of its nature.

We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for accounting, legal or reporting requirements. If it is not necessary for achieving that purpose, we will delete it automatically. If personal data has been processed for several purposes and is only necessary for one of these purposes anymore, it will only be processed for such valid purpose. This can e.g. be the case with regard to our legal bookkeeping obligations.

In order to determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the following criteria: the volume, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of personal data, the purposes for which we collect and process personal data, the timeframe during which we may require such personal data in connection with potential litigation, and applicable legal requirements.

• Request access (GDPR Article 15). This means that you may receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction (GDPR Article 16). This means that you may ask us to correct or complete inaccurate or incomplete data that we hold about you.
• Request erasure (GDPR Article 17). This means that you may ask us to delete or remove personal data that we hold about you. If we are unable to comply with such request, we will notify you of the specific legal reasons for our decision.
• Object to processing (GDPR Article 18). This means that you may object to the processing of your personal data where it is used for direct marketing purposes, or where we are relying on a legitimate interest and you feel that such interest is overridden by your rights and freedoms.
• Request restriction of processing (GDPR Article 18). This means that you may ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data if you believe that such data is inaccurate, if our processing is unlawful or if we no longer need to process such data for a particular purpose, but you need us to continue to hold the data.
• Data Portability (GDPR Article 20). This means that you may request that we transfer your personal data to you or to a third party. This right applies where we have obtained and processed the data from you based on your consent or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
• Withdraw consent at any time (GDPR Article 7). This means that you may withdraw your consent where we are processing your personal data based on your consent. Upon receipt of your withdrawal of consent, we are no longer allowed to process your personal data based on your withdrawn consent. However the lawfulness of processing in the past prior to receipt of such withdrawal remains unaffected.
