-
Additional recipients
Treems may also disclose your personal data to law enforcement and government agencies, legal advisers and other external advisers in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Laws.

DATA TRANSFER TO THIRD COUNTRIES

Some recipients in the USA may be certified according to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and thus ensure an adequate level of data protection from the perspective of EU data protection law.

If you have declared your consent to the processing of your personal data, you can withdraw this consent at any time with future effect.

If you withdraw your consent, we will no longer process your personal data unless any other (legal) basis permits this. However, if the consent is withdrawn and no other legal basis exists, we must delete the personal data immediately (Art. 17 para. 2 lit. b) GDPR).
According to Applicable Data Protection Laws, as a data subject you may have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), the right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), the right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) and the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).

STORAGE PERIOD OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
Your personal data will be stored as long as necessary for the purposes of the data processing described in section 1 above.

Your data will not be erased or made completely anonymous if and as long as we have to store your data in order to fulfil legal or regulatory obligations, e.g. legal retention requirements, which may arise from the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, HGB) or the German Tax Code (Abgabenordnung, AO), for example, which stipulate retention periods of 6 to 10 years, or if we need the data to preserve evidence within the limitation period, which is usually 3 years, but can be up to 30 years in individual cases.
