5. Your rights as a data subject
To the extent that your personal data is processed during your visit to our website, you, as a «data subject» within the meaning of the GDPR, have the following rights:

5.1 Information
You can request information from us as to whether your personal data is being processed by us. There is no right to information if providing the requested information would violate the obligation of confidentiality pursuant to Section 83 of the Tax Consultants Act (StBerG) or if the information must be kept secret for other reasons, in particular due to an overriding legitimate interest of a third party. Exceptions to this may be an obligation to provide information if, particularly considering the threat of damage, your interests outweigh the interest in confidentiality. Furthermore, the right to information is excluded if the data is stored solely because it may not be deleted due to statutory or statutory retention periods or is used exclusively for data backup or data protection purposes, provided that providing the information would require disproportionate effort and processing for other purposes is excluded by appropriate technical and organizational measures. If the right to information is not excluded in your case and your personal data is processed by us, you can request information from us about the following:

• Purposes of the processing,
• Categories of personal data processed by you,
• Recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries,
• If possible, the planned duration for which your personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining the storage period,
• The existence of a right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing of personal data concerning you or a right to object to such processing,
• The existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority,
• If the personal data was not collected from you as the data subject, the available information on the data source,
• If applicable, the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the scope and intended effects of automated decision-making,
• If applicable, in the case of transmission to recipients in third countries, unless the EU Commission has issued a decision on the adequacy of the level of protection pursuant to Art. 45 (3) GDPR, information on the appropriate safeguards provided for the protection of personal data pursuant to Art. 46 (2) GDPR.

5.2 Correction and Completion
If you discover that we have inaccurate personal data about you, you can request that we immediately correct this inaccurate data. If your personal data concerning you is incomplete, you can request that it be completed.

5.3 Deletion
You have the right to erasure («right to be forgotten») unless the processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression, the right to information, or to fulfill a legal obligation or to perform a task carried out in the public interest, and one of the following reasons applies:

• The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were processed.
• The sole justification for the processing was your consent, which you have withdrawn.
• You have objected to the processing of your personal data that we have made public.
• You have objected to the processing of personal data that we have not made public, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing.
• Your personal data was processed unlawfully.
• The deletion of the personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject.

There is no right to deletion if, in the case of lawful, non-automated data processing, deletion is not possible or only possible with disproportionate effort due to the special nature of the storage, and your interest in deletion is minimal. In this case, deletion is replaced by restriction of processing.

5.4 Restriction of processing
You can request that we restrict processing if one of the following reasons applies:

• You contest the accuracy of the personal data. In this case, the restriction can be requested for the period that enables us to verify the accuracy of the data.
• The processing is unlawful, and you request the restriction of the use of your personal data instead of deletion.
• We no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, which you require to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
• You have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR. The restriction of processing can be requested as long as it is not yet clear whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons.

Restriction of processing means that the personal data will only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest. Before we lift the restriction, we are obliged to inform you.

5.5 Data portability
You have the right to data portability if the processing is based on your consent (Article 6 (1) Sentence 1 Letter a) or Article 9 (2) Letter a) GDPR) or on a contract to which you are a party and the processing is carried out using automated procedures. In this case, the right to data portability includes the following rights, provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others: You can request that we receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, common, and machine-readable format. You have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us. Where technically feasible, you can request that we transmit your personal data directly to another controller.

5.6 Objection
If the processing is based on Article 6 (1) (e) GDPR (performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority) or on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest of the controller or a third party), you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for reasons related to your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR. After exercising your right of objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. You can object to the processing of personal data concerning you for direct marketing purposes at any time. This also applies to profiling associated with such direct advertising. After exercising this right of objection, we will no longer use the personal data in question for direct advertising purposes. You have the option of informally submitting your objection to our firm by telephone, email, if applicable, by fax, or to the postal address listed at the beginning of this data protection policy.

5.7 Revocation of Consent
You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with future effect. You can revoke your consent by telephone, email, if applicable, by fax, or to our postal address. The revocation does not affect the legality of the data processing carried out on the basis of your consent up to the time of receipt of the revocation. After receipt of the revocation, data processing based exclusively on your consent will be discontinued.

5.8 Complaints
If you believe that the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority responsible for the place of your residence or work or for the place of the alleged infringement.

6. Status and Updates of this Data Protection Policy
This data protection policy is dated May 25, 2025. We reserve the right to update this data protection policy from time to time to improve data protection and/or to adapt it to changes in regulatory practice or case law.
