Security and Protection of Your Personal Data

We consider it our primary task to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and protect it from unauthorized access. Therefore, we apply the utmost care and state-of-the-art 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 Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure that data protection regulations are observed both by us and by our external service providers.

 

Definitions
The legislator requires that personal data be processed in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner for the data subject ('lawfulness, fairness, transparency'). To ensure this, we provide you with information on the specific legal definitions that are also used in this privacy policy:

 

  1. Personal data
    „Personal data“ refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more specific attributes expressing the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
     
  2. Processing
    "Processing" means any operation or series of operations, whether or not performed by automated processes, in relation to personal data, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
     
  3. Restriction of Processing
    Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.
     
  4. Profiling
    "Profiling" is any form of automated processing of personal data that involves the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, particularly to analyze or predict aspects concerning work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, whereabouts, or movements of that natural person.
     
  5. Pseudonymization
    "Pseudonymization" is the processing of personal data in a way that the personal data cannot be attributed to a specific data subject without additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures ensuring that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
     
  6. File System
    The term 'file system' refers to any structured collection of personal data that is accessible based on specific criteria, regardless of whether this collection is maintained centrally, decentrally, or organized according to functional or geographical considerations.
     
  7. Controller
    "Controller" is a natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other body that alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of a Member State, the controller or the specific criteria for their appointment may be provided for by Union law or the law of a Member State.
     
  8. Processor
    "Processor" is a natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
     
  9. Recipient
    "Recipient" means a natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other entity to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not they are a third party. However, authorities receiving personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union law or the laws of the Member States are not considered recipients; the processing of such data by these authorities is carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and for the purposes of the processing.
     
  10. Third Party
    "Third party" is a natural or legal person, authority, institution, or other entity, other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and the persons authorized to process personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor.
     
  11. Consent
    "A 'consent' of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes, through a statement or clear affirmative action, signifying agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them for the stated purpose."

 

Lawfulness of processing
The processing of personal data is only lawful if there is a legal basis for the processing. The legal basis for processing can be, in accordance with Article 6(1) (a) - (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), in particular:

  1. The individual concerned has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;

  2. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

  3. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;

  4. Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person;

  5. 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;

  6. Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by 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, in particular where the data subject is a child.

You have the right to prompt correction of any inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the 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 deletion of personal data concerning you from the data controller, and we are obligated to promptly delete personal data if one of the following reasons applies:

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

  2. The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.

  3. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

  5. Deletion of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the data controller is subject.

  6. The personal data was collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

The right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary for:

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

  • Compliance with a legal obligation that requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the data controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the data controller;

  1. 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.

  2. The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of its use instead.

  4. The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If processing is restricted under the above conditions, such personal data, aside from storage, will only be processed with the consent of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

To exercise the right to restriction of processing, the data subject may contact us at the provided contact details.

 

(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 have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance, where:

  1. 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) of the GDPR, and

  2. The processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising the right to data portability, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The exercise of 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 the performance of 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 particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

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

In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

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

The right to object can be exercised at any time 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, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, unless the decision is:

  1. Necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller.

  2. Permitted 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
  3. Based on the data subject's explicit consent.

This right can be exercised at any time by contacting the respective controller.

(11) Right to an Effective Judicial Remedy
