10. Scope of your obligations to provide us with your data.
You only need to provide the data that is required for the establishment and implementation of a business relationship or for a pre-contractual relationship with us or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will usually not be able to conclude or execute the contract. This can also relate to data required later in the context of the business relationship. If we also request data from you, you will be informed separately that the information is voluntary.
11. Information about your right of objection Art 21 GDPR
You have the right at any time to object to the processing of your data, which is based on Art. 6 Paragraph 1 f GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests) or Art. 6 Paragraph 1 e GDPR (data processing in the public interest) if there are reasons for this that arise from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. We may also process your personal data in order to operate direct mail. If you do not want to receive advertising, you have the right to object to this at any time. We will consider this contradiction for the future.
We will no longer process your data for direct marketing purposes if you object to the processing for these purposes. The objection can be sent informally to the address listed under point 1.
