In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the data controller. In principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the transfer serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject by voluntarily providing personal data enables the data controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data base of the person responsible for processing.

The person responsible for processing will provide each data subject with information at any time upon request as to what personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the person responsible for processing corrects or deletes personal data at the request or notification of the data subject, provided that there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary. All of the controller's employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
