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 both we and our external service providers comply with data protection regulations.

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:

1. 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.

2. Processing

“Processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, 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” means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

4. Profiling

“Profiling” means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

5. 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.

6. File system

‘Filing system’ means any structured set of personal data accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralised, decentralised or organised according to functional or geographical criteria.

7. Person responsible

“Controller” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

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. Receiver

“Recipient” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules and in accordance with the purposes of the processing.

10. Third

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

11. Consent

“Consent” of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Lawfulness of processing

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

1. The data subject has given his or her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her 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 to fulfill a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
4. processing is necessary 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 to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or of 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.

The right to receive a copy pursuant to paragraph 3 must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

(4) Right to rectification

You have the right to request that we immediately correct any inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to request that incomplete personal data be completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

(5) Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)

You have the right to request the controller to delete personal data concerning you without undue delay, and we are obliged to delete personal data without undue delay where one of the following reasons 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 on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
3. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
4. The personal data was processed unlawfully.
5. The erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
6. The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8(1) GDPR.

Where the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to paragraph 1 to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, to inform controllers which process the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

The right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) does not apply if processing is necessary:

• to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
• to fulfill a legal obligation required by Union or Member State law 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;
• for reasons of public interest in the area of ​​public health pursuant to Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) of the GDPR;
• for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to make the achievement of the objectives of that processing impossible or seriously compromises it, or
• to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

(6) Right to restriction of processing

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

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 their use instead;
3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
4. the data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

Where processing has been restricted in accordance with the above-mentioned conditions, such personal data shall – with the exception of storage – only be processed with the consent of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect 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 any time using the contact details provided above.

(7) Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that:

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) GDPR and
2. the processing is carried out using automated procedures.

When exercising your right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, you have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data portability shall not affect your right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”). This right shall 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 of objection

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, for reasons related to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless they can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend 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 purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In connection with the use of information society services, you may exercise your right of objection by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

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

You can exercise your right of objection at any time by contacting the respective controller.

(9) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling

You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – that produces legal effects concerning 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 controller,
2. is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or
3. with the express consent of the data subject.

The controller shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

The data subject may exercise this right at any time by contacting the respective controller.

(10) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Furthermore, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you 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 pursuant to Article 77 of the GDPR, you shall have the right to an effective judicial remedy if you consider that your rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of your personal data in non-compliance with this Regulation.
