• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of the processing instead of the deletion.

• If we no longer need your personal data, but you do need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.
