Security and protection of your personal data:

We consider it our primary responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it from unauthorized access. Therefore, we apply the utmost care and the latest 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 implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure that data protection regulations are observed by both us and our external service providers.

Definitions:

The law requires that personal data be processed lawfully, fairly, and in a manner that is transparent to the data subject ("lawfulness, fairness, transparency"). To ensure this, we inform you about the individual legal definitions that are also used in this privacy policy:

  • - Personal Data

    “Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “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 to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

  • - Pseudonymization

    “Pseudonymisation” means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Rights of the data subject

(1) Revocation of consent

If processing is based on consent, you may revoke it at any time. Revocation does not affect the legality of processing conducted prior to revocation. Contact us at any time to exercise this right.

(2) Right to confirmation

You have the right to request confirmation of whether we process personal data concerning you. You can request confirmation at any time via the contact details provided above.

(3) Right to information

If personal data is processed, you can request information about the data and:

  • The purposes of processing
  • Categories of personal data
  • Recipients or categories of recipients
  • Planned storage duration or criteria for determining it
  • Existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction, or objection
  • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
  • Any available information about data origin (if not from data subject)
  • Existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing

(4) Right to rectification

You have the right to request that we immediately rectify any inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you may also 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 that the controller erase personal data concerning you without undue delay, and we are obliged to delete such data without undue delay if one of the following grounds applies:

  1. The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  2. The data subject withdraws consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or 9(2)(a) GDPR and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  3. The data subject objects to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds, or objects pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
  4. The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
  5. The erasure is required for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member-State law to which the controller is subject.
  6. The personal data were collected in relation to the offer of information-society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.

Where the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged to erase them, reasonable steps, including technical measures, will be taken to inform other controllers processing the data that the data subject has requested erasure of any links, copies or replications.

The right to erasure does not apply insofar as processing is necessary:

  • for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  • for compliance with a legal obligation or performance of 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 the area of 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, where erasure would seriously impair those purposes; or
  • for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

(6) Right to restriction of processing

You may request restriction of the processing of your personal data if:

  • You contest the accuracy of the data for a period enabling verification.
  • Processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure and request restriction instead.
  • The controller no longer needs the data for processing purposes, but you require them for legal claims.
  • You have objected pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, pending verification whether legitimate grounds override yours.

Where processing is restricted, such data shall—apart from storage—only be processed with your consent or for legal claims, protection of rights of another person, or for important public-interest reasons of the Union or a Member State.

Contact us at [email protected] to exercise this right.

(7) Right to data portability

You have the right to receive personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller where processing is based on consent (Article 6(1)(a) or 9(2)(a) GDPR) or on a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) and carried out by automated means.

Where technically feasible, you may have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another.

This right must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others and does not apply to processing necessary for a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

(8) Right to object

You may object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling. We shall cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds overriding your interests or for legal claims.

Where personal data are processed for direct marketing, you may object at any time; upon objection, the data will no longer be processed for such purposes.

You can exercise your right via automated means using technical specifications or by contacting us at [email protected].

(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 or similarly significant effects. This does not apply if the decision:

  • is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between you and the controller;
  • is authorised by Union or Member-State law providing suitable safeguards; or
  • is based on your explicit consent.

In such cases we implement measures to safeguard your rights, including the right to human intervention, to express your viewpoint, and to contest the decision.

(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 habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR.

(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy

Without prejudice to any other administrative or non-judicial remedy—including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR—you have the right to an effective judicial remedy if you consider that your rights under the GDPR have been infringed as a result of processing your personal data in non-compliance with this Regulation.
