If we are supposed to do something for you (e. g. as part of an agreement), we will only do so, if you provide us with all required personal data. If you do not want to supply the data, we will not be able to act. In some cases there is also a legal obligation to provide us with your personal data.

We process the personal data we receive from you. Additionally, if this is permitted, we process personal data which we obtain from public sources (e. g. record of debtors (creditworthiness data)) or other sources (e. g. credit bureaus (creditworthiness data)).

Furthermore you have a right to have your personal data deleted, if you have good cause based on art. 17 GDPR in conjunction with § 35 Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) e. g. if the data are no longer needed for the pursued purpose.

For this, the requirements stipulated in art. 18 GDPR must be fulfilled.
 
You can withdraw your agreement to the processing of your personal data at any time with effect for the future (art. 21 GDPR).

If you object to the processing of your personal data, the lawfulness of the handling based on your earlier agreement until the objection will not be affected.
 
According to art. 20 GDPR you have a right to data portability. Among other things this means that you may be able to initiate a transmission of the personal data from one responsible party to another responsible party as long as this is technically possible.
