Security and protection of your personal data

We consider it our primary task to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data provided by you and to protect it from unauthorized access. Therefore, we exercise the utmost care and apply state-of-the-art security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.

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

Definitions

The legislator requires that personal data be processed lawfully, in good faith and a manner understandable to the data subject ("lawfulness, fairness, transparency"). To ensure this, we inform you of the individual legal definitions that are also used in this Privacy Policy:

  1. Personal data
    "Personal data" is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as 'data subject'). A natural person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, online identifier, or one or more specific characteristics which express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person, is regarded as identifiable.
  2. Processing
    "Processing" means any operation or set of operations which is carried out in relation to personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organization, sorting, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or association, qualification, erasure, or destruction.
  3. Limitation of processing
    "Limitation of processing" means the tagging of stored personal data to limit their future processing.
  4. Profiling
    "Profiling" means any automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to the work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, conduct, whereabouts, or movements of that natural person.
  5. Pseudonymization
    "Pseudonymization" is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the provision of 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
    A "file system" is any structured collection of personal data accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralized, decentralized, or organized on a functional or geographical basis.
  7. Controller
    The "controller" is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data—where the purposes and means of such processing are laid down by Union law or by the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for his designation may be laid down by Union law or by the law of the Member States.
  8. Processor
    The "processor" is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other bodies which process personal data on behalf of the controller.
  9. Recipient
    The "recipient" is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other bodies to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not that person is a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigation mandate under Union law or the law of the Member States shall not be considered as recipients and the processing of such data by those authorities shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection rules and in accordance with the purposes of the processing.
  10. Third party
    A "third party" is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or any other body, other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct authority of the controller or the processor.
  11. Consent
    The data subject's "consent" shall mean any voluntary, informed and unambiguous expression of his or her will in a particular case, in the form of a statement or other unequivocal affirmative act, by which the data subject indicates his or her consent to the processing of his or her personal data.

Rechtmäßigkeit der Verarbeitung

The processing of personal data is only lawful if there is a legal basis for the processing. According to Article 6 (1) lit. a - f GDPR, the legal basis for the processing can in particular be:

  1. the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;
  2. processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is 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 of 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 which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

(4) Right to rectification

You have the right to demand from us the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data—also by means of a supplementary declaration.

(5) Right to deletion ("right to be forgotten")

You have the right to request that the data controller delete any personal data about you, and we are obligated to delete any personal data immediately for any of the following reasons:

  1. Personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  2. The data subject shall revoke the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the DS Block Exemption Regulation and there shall be no other legal basis for the processing.
  3. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
  4. The personal data have been processed unlawfully.
  5. The deletion of the personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
  6. The personal data have been collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR.

Where the person responsible has made the personal data public and is obliged to delete them in accordance with paragraph 1, he shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform data controllers processing the personal data that a data subject has requested them to delete all links to or copies or replications of those personal data, taking into account available technology and implementation costs.

The right to deletion ("right to be forgotten") does not apply insofar as the processing is necessary:

  • to exercise freedom of expression and information;
  • to fulfill a legal obligation which processing is subject to under the law of the Union or of the Member States to which the controller is subject or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  • on grounds of public interest in the field of public health per Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) of the GDPR;
  • for archival, scientific, or historical research purposes in the public interest or statistical purposes per Article 89(1) of the DS Block Exemption Regulation, where the law referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously hamper the attainment of the objectives of such processing, or
  • to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

(6) Right to limitation of processing

You have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data if one of the following conditions is met:

  1. the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period of time which enables the data controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
  2. the processing is unlawful and the data subject refuses to erase the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data;
  3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, or
  4. the data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR until it is established whether the controller's legitimate reasons outweigh those of the data subject.

Where processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, such personal data—except for their storage—shall not be processed, except with the consent of the data subject or for the exercise or defense of legal rights or the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

In order to exercise the right to limit the processing, the data subject may contact us at any time using the contact details provided above.

(7) Right to data transferability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common, and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transfer such data to another controller without interference from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, insofar as:

  1. the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) DS Block Exemption Regulation, and
  2. processing is carried out using automated procedures.

When exercising the right to data transfer pursuant to paragraph 1, you have the right to request that the personal data be transferred directly from one responsible person to another responsible person, insofar as this is technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data transfer does not affect the right to cancellation ("right to be forgotten"). This right shall not apply to the processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

(8) Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons related to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you carried out pursuant to Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the DS Block Exemption Regulation, including profiling based on these provisions. The controller will no longer process the personal data unless he can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing outweighing the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject or the processing is for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling in so far as it is connected with such direct marketing. If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

Notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object in relation to the use of information society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data concerning you for the purposes of scientific or historical research or for statistical purposes as referred to in Article 89(1) for reasons connected with your particular situation unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest.

Das Widerspruchsrecht können Sie jederzeit ausüben, indem Sie sich an den jeweiligen Verantwortlichen wenden.Sie haben das Recht, aus Gründen, die sich aus Ihrer besonderen Situation ergeben, gegen die Sie betreffende Verarbeitung Sie betreffender personenbezogener Daten, die zu wissenschaftlichen oder historischen Forschungszwecken oder zu statistischen Zwecken gemäß Artikel 89 Absatz 1 erfolgt, Widerspruch einzulegen, es sei denn, die Verarbeitung ist zur Erfüllung einer im öffentlichen Interesse liegenden Aufgabe erforderlich.

(9) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

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

  1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the person responsible,
  2. is authorized by the legislation of the Union or of the Member States to which the person responsible is subject and that legislation contains adequate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and the legitimate interests of the data subject, or
  3. is made with the express consent of the data subject.

The controller shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and the legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to have the data subject intervene, to state his or her views and to challenge the decision.

The data subject may exercise this right at any time by contacting the person responsible.

(10) Right of appeal before a supervisory authority

Furthermore, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, the data subject shall have the right to appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work, or place of presumed infringement, if the data subject considers that the processing of his/her personal data is in breach of this Regulation.

(11) Right to an effective judicial remedy

Without prejudice to any available administrative or extrajudicial remedy, including the right to appeal to a supervisory authority under Article 77 GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to an effective judicial remedy if they consider that their rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of their personal data.
