Security and Protection of Your Personal Data

We are pleased about your visit to our website and your interest in our services. We consider it our primary task to maintain the confidentiality of your provided personal data and protect it from unauthorized access. Therefore, we apply the utmost care and modern security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.

As a private company, we are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the regulations of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that both we and our external service providers comply with the data protection regulations.

Definitions

The legislator requires that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently to the data subject (“lawfulness, fairness, transparency”). To ensure this, we inform you of the individual legal definitions used in this privacy policy:

1. Personal Data

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable person is someone who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by an identifier such as a name, identification number, location data, or an online identifier, or by one or more specific characteristics expressing the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that person.

2. Processing

“Processing” refers to any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

3. Restriction of Processing

“Restriction of processing” is the marking of stored personal data to limit its future processing.

4. Profiling

“Profiling” means any form of automated processing of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects related to a natural person, particularly to analyze or predict aspects concerning job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movement of that person.

5. Pseudonymization

“Pseudonymization” is processing personal data in such a way that it can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures ensuring that personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

6. Filing System

“Filing system” means any structured collection of personal data accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralized, decentralized, or organized by functional or geographical criteria.

7. Controller

“Controller” means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

8. Processor

“Processor” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

9. Recipient

“Recipient” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. Authorities that may receive personal data under a specific investigative mandate under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.

10. Third Party

“Third party” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

11. Consent

“Consent” of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

 

Lawfulness of Processing

Processing of personal data is lawful only if there is a legal basis for processing. Legal bases according to Article 6 (1) lit. a – f GDPR include:

a) The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;
b) Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or to take pre-contractual measures upon the data subject’s request;
c) Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
d) Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person;
e) Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
f) Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject requiring protection of personal data, especially where the data subject is a child.

Rights of the Data Subject

We provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. For any further copies you request, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. If the request is made electronically, the information shall be provided in a commonly used electronic format unless otherwise requested. The right to receive a copy shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

 

(4) Right to Rectification

You have the right to demand the immediate rectification of incorrect personal data concerning you. Considering the purposes of processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.

 

(5) Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)

You have the right to request the immediate erasure of personal data concerning you, and we are obliged to erase personal data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

a) The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
b) The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6 (1) (a) or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for processing.
c) The data subject objects to processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing, or the data subject objects to processing under Article 21 (2) GDPR.
d) The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
e) The erasure of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
f) The personal data have been collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8 (1) GDPR.

If the controller has made personal data public and is obliged to erase it according to paragraph 1, it shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, considering available technology and implementation costs, to inform controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, such personal data.

The right to erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”) does not exist where processing is necessary:

  • For exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  • For compliance with a legal obligation requiring processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for performing a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  • For reasons of public interest in public health pursuant to Article 9 (2) (h) and (i) and Article 9 (3) GDPR;
  • For archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1) GDPR, in so far as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
  • For the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

(6) Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data if one of the following conditions applies:

a) The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
b) The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead;
c) The controller no longer needs the personal data for processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
d) The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR pending verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If processing has been restricted according to the above conditions, such personal data shall, except for storage, only be processed with the data subject’s consent or for establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

You can exercise the right to restrict processing at any time by contacting us using the contact details above.

 

(7) Right to 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, and you have the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data were provided, where:

a) The processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6 (1) (a) or Article 9 (2) (a) or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR; and
b) The processing is carried out by automated means.

When exercising the right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, you have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. Exercising the right to data portability does not affect the right to erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”). This right does not apply to processing necessary for performing a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

 

(8) Right to Object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your situation, at any time to processing personal data concerning you based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. The controller will no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject or for establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims.

If personal data are processed for direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to processing your personal data for such marketing, including profiling to the extent it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

Regarding using information society services, you may exercise your right to object, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by automated means using technical specifications.

You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your situation, to processing personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1), unless the processing is necessary for performing a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

You can exercise your right to object anytime by contacting the respective controller

 

(9) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning you or significantly affects you similarly. This does not apply if the decision:

a) Is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller,
b) Is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
c) Is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

The controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, express their point of view, and contest the decision.

You can exercise this right at any time by contacting the respective controller.

 

(10) 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, particularly in the Member State of your residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes this Regulation.

 

(11) Right to an Effective Judicial Remedy

Without prejudice to any available administrative or non-judicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority under Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to an effective judicial remedy if you consider your rights under this Regulation have been infringed due to processing of your data not in compliance with this Regulation.
