(2) Insofar as we justify the processing of your personal data on the basis of a weighing of interests, you may submit an objection to the processing. This is particularly relevant to cases in which the processing is not necessary for fulfilling a contract with you, which we will clarify in each case in the following description of the functions. When exerting such a right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data, such as this is carried out by us. In case of your justified objection, we will check the facts and either discontinue the data processing and/or adjust it or give you our compelling legitimate reasons, on the basis of which we will continue with the processing.
