If you close your customer account, we will delete all data we store about you. If complete deletion of your data is not possible or necessary for legal reasons, the relevant data will be blocked from further processing. If data is blocked, technical and organizational measures will be used to ensure that only a limited number of employees have access to the relevant data, as necessary and only for specific purposes (for example, in the case of tax audits). For example, in the following case:
(A) Your order and payment details and possibly other details are generally subject to various legal retention obligations, such as those in the Handelsgesetzbuch (HGB - Commercial Code) and the Abgabenordnung (AO - Tax Code). We are required by law to retain this data for tax and financial audit purposes for up to ten years. Only then can we finally delete the relevant data.
(B) Even if your data is not subject to any legal retention obligations, we may not delete it immediately but perform preliminary blocking where permitted by law. This applies in particular where we may require the relevant data for further contractual processing or prosecution or legal defense (e.g. in the event of a complaint). The decisive criterion for the duration of a blockade is the statutory limitation period. After the relevant validity period expires, the relevant data will eventually be deleted.
Deletion may be waived where permitted by law if the data are anonymized or pseudonymized and the deletion would preclude or seriously impede processing for scientific research or statistical purposes.
