This is how long we store your data

The duration of data storage depends primarily on the fulfillment of the purpose. This means we store your data only for as long as we need it to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. In some cases, however, there are statutory retention periods that specify a different storage duration. In such cases, we store the data for as long as required by the applicable law. If data is deleted after a different period in a specific context (for example, Google Analytics), this is specified in the detailed privacy policy.

Right to have data erased (unless subject to retention periods)
Right to be Forgotten (if data has been transferred, we must request that the recipient delete it)
