What is this about?

This privacy policy meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, your age, your address, your telephone number, your date of birth, your email address, your IP address, or user behavior when visiting a website. Information with which we cannot (or can only with disproportionate effort) relate to you personally, e.g. through anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, querying, use, storage, or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further retention of the data. We will inform you about the specific storage periods and criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Regardless of this, we store your personal data in individual cases to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims and if there are statutory retention requirements.

Who gets my data?

We only pass on your personal data that we process on our website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the stated purposes, and in individual cases if this is covered by the legal basis (e.g. consent or protection of legitimate interests). In addition, we pass on personal data to third parties in individual cases if this serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. Possible recipients may then include law enforcement authorities, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.

Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our website who – as part of processing on our behalf – process personal data in accordance with Art. 28 of the GDPR, these may be recipients of your personal data. You can find more detailed information on the use of processors and web services in the overview of the individual processing operations (see “How will my data be processed in detail?” below).

 

What rights do I have?

Under the conditions of the statutory provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you as a data subject have the following rights:

  • Information in accordance with Art. 15 of the GDPR about the data stored regarding you, in the form of meaningful information on the details of the processing and a copy of your data;
  • Correction in accordance with Art. 16 of the GDPR of inaccurate or incomplete data stored by us;
  • Deletion in accordance with Art. 17 of the GDPR of the data stored by us, insofar as the processing is not necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims;
  • Restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 of the GDPR, insofar as the correctness of the data is disputed, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you refuse its deletion, because you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, or you have objected to processing in accordance with Art. 21 of the GDPR;
  • Data portability in accordance with Art. 20 of the GDPR, insofar as you have provided us with personal data within the framework of consent pursuant to Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a of the GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b of the GDPR and this was processed by us via automated procedures. You receive your data in a structured, conventional, and machine-readable format or we transmit the data directly to another responsible person, insofar as this is technically feasible;
  • Objection in accordance with Art. 21 of the GDPR to the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. e, f of the GDPR and there are reasons for doing so which arise from your particular situation or if the objection is directed against direct marketing. The right to object does not exist if compelling legitimate grounds for processing are demonstrated or if the processing is carried out for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims. Insofar as there is no right to object in individual processing operations, this is indicated therein;
  • Revocation in accordance with Art. 7 sec. 3 of the GDPR of your given consent with effect for the future;
  • Complaint under Art. 77 of the GDPR to a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your workplace, or our company headquarters.
