15. Duration of storage of personal data
The storage duration of personal data is determined by the respective legal framework, the processing purpose, and - where appropriate - additionally by the respective legal retention period (e.g. retention periods pertaining to commercial or tax legislation).
When processing personal data based on an explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR this data will be stored until the data subject withdraws their consent.
If legal retention periods exist for data that have been processed within transactional or transactional-similar obligations on the basis on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, these data will be routinely erased after expiry of the retention period provided they are no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract and/or no legitimate interest on continued storage continues from our side.
When processing personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR we will store these data until the data subject exercises their right to object in line with Article 21(1) GDPR, unless we can prove compelling privileged reasons for processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
When processing personal data for the purpose of direct advertising on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR these data are stored until the data subject exercises their right to object in line with Article 21(2) GDPR.
If any other information of this declaration about specific processing situations does not result in any other outcomes, stored personal data will be erased when they are no longer required for the purposes for which they were collected or processed in any other way.
