However, consent to the above points may be objected in writing (for example by email) at any time.
j. Clients, customers and / or suppliers are obliged to announce changes of their residential or business address as well as changes of contact persons to STRONG, as long as the contractual transaction is not completely mutually fulfilled. If the information is omitted, statements shall be deemed as received even if they were sent to the last known address or the last known contact person.
k. Of course, a natural person is also entitled after clear identification of her or his identity to view her or his personal data stored and processed by STRONG, to cause changes in his or her data, to learn the source of this data, as long as this information does not violate any rights deserving protection of any third parties, and to determine the erasure of her or his own data, if this does not contradict any statutory storage requirements.
l. STRONG takes all technically and economically reasonable measures to protect stored data against any unauthorized access. Insofar as STRONG is not intentionally or grossly negligent disregarding their care, the assertion of claims for damages of legal persons is excluded.
