legal basis.
Where processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, Art. 6(1)(f)
GDPR serves as the legal basis.
2.3 Storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer
applies. Data may be stored beyond this if provided for by European or national legislation. The data will also be

blocked or erased when a storage period prescribed by these provisions expires, unless there is a need for further
storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in or by the internet browser on the user's
computer system. When a website is accessed, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system.

Google LLC is based in the USA. A data transfer to the USA takes place. Google LLC has joined the EU-US Data
Privacy Framework, which was recognised by the European Commission in its adequacy decision of 10 July 2023.
