When do we delete your data?

We process your data only for as long as is permitted and necessary to achieve the relevant purpose. We then delete your data. You can find out when we specifically delete your data in the second part of the privacy policy under the individual applications and processing operations.

We will also delete your data as soon as you initiate this via the corresponding button in your user account, and we no longer need the data for the execution of the contract and any possible warranty and limitation periods from the contractual relationship have expired. This is usually at the beginning of the fourth year following our last service. If we are obliged to store the data for a longer period due to statutory retention periods, we will delete the data after these periods have expired (e.g. § 257 HGB, § 147 AO).

You can delete unpaid tax returns on the overview page (after logging in). All entered data will then be completely deleted. Only the information that and when a tax return was created and deleted remains in our database. Paid tax returns are automatically deleted later after the statutory retention periods have expired.

In exceptional cases, we may process data beyond the originally intended time if the data is required for a (also: pending) legal dispute (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, Art. 17 para. 3 lit. e GDPR) or other legal proceedings, or if storage is required by legal regulations to which we as the data controller are subject (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, Art. 17 para. 3 lit. b GDPR).
