Your data will be deleted after final processing of your enquiry, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary. We assume that processing is complete when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The duration of the storage of personal data is measured on the basis of the respective legal basis, the processing purpose and - if relevant - also on the basis of the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).

If there are statutory retention periods for data that is processed within the scope of legal obligations or similar obligations on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, provided that it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or the initiation of the contract and/or there is no legitimate interest on our part in continuing to store it.
When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises his or her right to object in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 of the GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR, this data will be stored until the data subject exercises his or her right to object in accordance with Art. 21 para. 2 of the GDPR.
