If the processing of personal data is based on consent, the data subject may revoke consent at any time. In certain cases, the data subject has the right to receive data generated when using online services in a structured, common, and machine-readable format that enables further use and transmission. Requests in connection with these rights should be addressed to the address given above. We reserve the right to restrict the rights of the data subject within the framework of applicable law and, for example, not to provide complete information or not to delete data.
