6. Deletion and blocking
We shall be obliged to delete personal data processed for own purposes as soon as your knowledge is no longer required for the fulfilment of the purpose of the storage. If, due to legal, statutory or contractual retention periods, deletion is prohibited, data is blocked instead. Data will also be blocked if there are reasonable grounds that by deleting the data, protectable interests of the person affected would be compromised or if a deletion is not possible due to the particular storage type or if the necessary effort to do so would be disproportionate.
At your request we shall at any time be obliged to block, correct or delete the data we collected from you.
