If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have filed an objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests outweigh, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have requested the restriction of the processing of your personal data, the data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
