‍Right to Restriction of Processing
‍You have the right to obtain restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions. To exercise this right, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice.
• If you contest the accuracy of the personal data. In this case, time is needed enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data. For the duration of the investigation, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
• If the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead.
• If the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
• If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override yours. If processing has been restricted, such personal data shall — apart from storage — only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
