You have the right to receive personal data that you have provided to us or that we process based on your consent or in performance of a contract, in a machine-readable format. If you request direct transmission of the data to another controller, we will do so only if technically feasible.

Under applicable law, you have the right to obtain free information at any time about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of processing, as well as the right to request rectification, restriction of processing, or deletion of data. For these matters, and any other questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time using the contact details provided in the imprint.
