Please note that conditions or exceptions may apply to these rights (e.g. because we are obliged to retain the data). We reserve the right to redact copies for reasons of data protection or confidentiality or to provide only excerpts. The exercise of your rights may make our contractually agreed service impossible and may, for example, lead to early termination of the contract or cost consequences.
