- If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you may request that the data processing be limited instead of deleted.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you do need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that we limit the processing of your personal data instead of deleting it.
