  2. If the processing of your personal data has occurred or is occurring unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  3. If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  4. Wenn Sie einen Widerspruch nach Art. 21 Abs. 1 DSGVO eingelegt haben, muss eine Abwägung zwischen Ihren und unseren Interessen vorgenommen werden.
