For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities. Revocation of your consent to data processing Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
