You will always have the right to obtain information about what happens to your personal data. You have to be given information about the origin, recipient and purpose of the data processing without charge. Furthermore, you may insist on the correction, blocking and deletion of your personal data stored. The passing on of your data to third parties may not take place without your consent.

This data given by you will also not be passed on to third parties by us without your consent.

In addition, many security measures are deployed by us so that your personal data is subject to a particularly high degree of protection. The data stored is protected by physical and technical security measures, as well as operating procedures, so that only especially authorised persons receive access to the information in line with this data protection declaration.
