I. General information about data processing

Scope of processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we only collect and use personal data from our users to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy. It is generally possible to use our website without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (such as name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may have security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties. The collection and use of personal data from our users is regularly carried out only with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

Legal basis for processing personal data

Insofar as we obtain your consent to process personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for processing personal data.
When processing personal data that is necessary to fulfill a contract with you, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if your interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms do not outweigh the former interest, Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

Data deletion and storage period

Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the above standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

II. Rights of the person concerned

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights:

Right to information

You can request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If there is such processing, you can request information from us about the following information:

1. the purposes for which the personal data are processed;

2. the categories of personal data that are processed;

3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been or is still being disclosed;

4. the planned duration of storage of personal data relating to you or, if specific information is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;

5. the existence of a right to correct or delete personal data concerning you, a right to restrict processing by the person responsible or a right to object to this processing;

6. the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

7. all available information about the origin of the data if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;

8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, in accordance with Article 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and — at least in these cases — meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is being transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to rectification

You have the right to correct and/or complete the data controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The person responsible must make the correction immediately.

Right to restrict processing

You can request that the processing of personal data concerning you be restricted under the following conditions: if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time that enables us to verify the accuracy of the personal data; the processing is unlawful and you refuse to delete the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data; we no longer use the personal data for the purposes of processing but you need them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or if you have filed an objection to processing in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons. If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data — apart from storage — may only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State. If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by us before the restriction is lifted.

Right to delete

You can request that we delete the personal data relating to you immediately, and we are obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

• The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

• You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

• You object to processing in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for processing, or you object to processing in accordance with Article 21 (2) GDPR.

• The personal data concerning you was processed unlawfully.

• The deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which we are subject.

• The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8 (1) GDPR.

If we have made the personal data concerning you public and are obliged to delete it in accordance with Article 17 (1) GDPR, we will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, to inform data controllers who process the personal data that you, as a data subject, have deleted all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data from them have asked for. The right to deletion does not exist insofar as processing is necessary

• to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

• to fulfill a legal obligation that requires processing under Union or Member State law to which we are subject, or to perform a task that is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

• for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;

• for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to make impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of this processing, or

• to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If you have asserted the right to correct, delete or restrict processing against us, you are obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.

data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another person responsible without hindrance from the person responsible to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

• the processing is based on consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, and

• processing is carried out using automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one person responsible to another person responsible, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected as a result. The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority that has been transferred to the person responsible.

Right to object

For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR. We will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

Right to withdraw the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the withdrawal.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is contrary to the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
